How should one drive while inside a “play street”?
- The driver should avoid entering a play street while children are playing
- Always in low gear and never driving in reverse.
- The driver should honk and alert pedestrians that a vehicle has entered the street
- Correct answer: The driver should allow pedestrians and children to carry on with their activities without endangering them
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The driver should allow pedestrians and children to carry on with their activities without endangering them
In a play street, pedestrians and vehicles share the same space, and pedestrians may walk and play across the whole width of the road. The driver must therefore drive very slowly and carefully, letting people and children carry on without endangering or disturbing them. Honking to warn them is not the answer, and entering while children play is not forbidden, but driving must adapt to them.
