South Australian Consolidated Regulations South Australian Consolidated Regulations80—Stopping at a children's crossing
(1) A driver
approaching a children's crossing must drive at a speed at which the driver
can, if necessary, stop safely before the crossing.
Offence provision.
Note—
"Children's crossing" is defined in subrule (6).
(2) A driver
approaching or at a children's crossing must stop as near as practicable to,
but before reaching, the stop line at the crossing if:
(a) a
hand-held stop sign is displayed at the crossing; or
(b) a
pedestrian is on or entering the crossing.
Offence provision.
Note 1—
"Stop line" is defined in the dictionary.
Note 2—
Rule 322 (3) and (4) deal with the meaning of a traffic control device at
a place.
(3) If a driver stops
at a children's crossing for a hand-held stop sign, the driver must not
proceed until there is no pedestrian on or entering the crossing and the
holder of the sign:
(a) no
longer displays the sign towards the driver; or
(b)
otherwise indicates that the driver may proceed.
Offence provision.
(4) If a driver stops
at a children's crossing for a pedestrian, the driver must not proceed until
there is no pedestrian on or entering the crossing.
Offence provision.
(5) For this rule, if
a children's crossing extends across a road with a dividing strip, the part of
the children's crossing on each side of the dividing strip is taken to be a
separate children's crossing.
Note—
"Dividing strip" is defined in the dictionary.

crossing" is an area of a road:

from one side of the road completely or partly across the road; and
