The stripes and other signs that comprise a Parallel crossing convey the prohibition—

(a)

to the driver of a vehicle proceeding along the carriageway, that the driver must not cause the vehicle or any part of it to stop within the limits of the crossing unless the driver is prevented from proceeding by circumstances beyond the driver’s control or it is necessary for the driver to stop to avoid injury or damage to persons or property; and

(b)

to a pedestrian F1, driver of an electric scooter being used in a trial or cyclist crossing the carriageway within the part of the crossing intended for (as the case may be) pedestrians F2, drivers of electric scooters being used in a trial or cyclists, that that they must not remain on the carriageway longer than is reasonably necessary to pass over the crossing with reasonable despatch.
