Which sign indicates pedestrians in the road ahead?

• A. Tunnel Ahead
• B. Trams Crossing Ahead
• C. Zebra Crossing
• D. Pedestrians In Road Ahead

Answer: (D)

Recognising warning signs that tell you pedestrians may be on the carriageway is the key idea here. The sign showing pedestrians in the road ahead directly tells you that people could be walking in the road itself, so you should slow down and be ready to stop if needed. This is a broader alert about pedestrians being on the roadway, not just at a crossing.

The other signs point to different situations: a tunnel ahead is a tunnel hazard, a tram crossing ahead warns of tram tracks and possible trams, and a zebra crossing sign indicates there is a marked crossing where pedestrians may cross but doesn’t imply pedestrians are currently in the road beyond that crossing.
