Precedence for pedestrians

Every pedestrian within the limits of an uncontrolled crossing shall have precedence within those limits over any vehicle and the driver of any vehicle shall accord such precedence to the pedestrians, if the pedestrian is on the road within these limits before the vehicle or any part thereof has come on to the road within those limits: Provided that in the case of a crossing on which there is a street refuge or central reservation, the parts of the crossing which are situate on each side of the street refuge or central reservation, as the case may be, shall each be treated as a separate crossing.
