Pedestrian Crossing Warning Sign

This triangular warning announces a pedestrian crossing ahead. It is distinct from the blue rectangular Pedestrian Crossing Regulatory Sign, which marks the crossing itself. See Pedestrian Right of Way.

Meaning

Red-bordered white triangle showing a walking pedestrian.

Required driver response

Slow down, scan for pedestrians, and be ready to stop — a pedestrian crossing is ahead.

Question patterns

• “What does this sign mean?” — recognition of meaning.
• “What must you do when you see this sign?” — required response.
• Distractor trap: treating it as a command to stop (it is a warning, not a regulatory sign).
