Video breakdown
Study the lesson by section
Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
Apply the crossing controls and wait for the path to clear
At the stop, the bicycle path has no stop or yield control in the example. The car waits for cyclists and then a pedestrian. Reassess all road users before taking your turn; passed cyclists may still have priority at the next conflict.
