1. Pedestrian crossing
A pedestrian crossing is a designated place where pedestrians may cross a road. It is commonly indicated by road markings, traffic signs, signals or a combination of these measures.
Drivers must approach with appropriate caution and give way when required by local law. Pedestrians must also observe approaching traffic and follow any pedestrian signals or instructions from authorised traffic controllers.
When must drivers give way at a pedestrian crossing in Bangladesh?
In Bangladesh, check for people already on a marked pedestrian crossing and give way as required by local signs and traffic law. Do not assume that a warning sign alone gives the same instruction as a stop or pedestrian signal.

Are all pedestrian crossings controlled the same way in Bangladesh?
At a crossing controlled by traffic lights or an authorised person, comply with that control. Drivers turning across a pedestrian route must still check carefully for pedestrians.
May I enter a pedestrian crossing if the road beyond it is blocked in Bangladesh?
Do not queue on the crossing or conceal pedestrians from approaching drivers. Wait before entering until there is space to clear the crossing, and do not overtake or pass a vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian where that would endanger anyone.
