353 References to pedestrians crossing a road
(1) If a driver is turning from a road at an intersection—
(a) the driver is required to give way to a pedestrian who is crossing the road that the driver is entering, only if the pedestrian's line of travel in crossing the road is essentially perpendicular to the edges of the road the driver is entering; and
(b) the driver is not required to give way to a pedestrian who is crossing the road the driver is leaving.
(2) In these Rules, a reference to a pedestrian crossing a road includes a reference to a person who is crossing only part of a road (for example, a person walking to a safety zone or a median strip, or to the middle of a road to display a hand-held stop sign).
