            (a)         give way to any pedestrian on or entering the crossing; and

            (b)         not obstruct any pedestrian on the crossing; and

            (c)         not overtake or pass a vehicle that is travelling in the same direction as the driver and is stopping, or has stopped, to give way at the crossing; and

Offence provision.
