Clause 69

Crossings for pedestrians, hereinafter referred to as crossings, may be established on roads in accordance with the provisions of this section.

The Minister may make rules with respect to the precedence of vehicles and pedestrians respectively and generally with respect to the movement of traffic (including pedestrians) at and in the vicinity of a crossing (including rules prohibiting pedestrian traffic on the carriageway within one hundred yards of a crossing) and with respect to the indication of the limits of a crossing by marks on the roadway or otherwise and to the erection of traffic signs in connection therewith.

Different rules may be made under this section in relation to different traffic conditions and, in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions, different rules may be made in relation to crossings in the vicinity of, and at a distance from, a junction of roads and to traffic which is controlled by the police and by traffic signals and by different kinds of traffic signals and which is not controlled.

If any person contravenes any of the provisions of a rule having effect as respects a crossing, he shall in respect of each offence be liable to a fine not exceeding such amount (being one hundred dollars or less) as may be specified by rules made under this section as the fine in relation to a breach of that rule.
