Chile
1. Pedestrian crossing
A pedestrian crossing is a designated place where pedestrians may cross a road. It is commonly indicated by road markings, traffic signs, signals or a combination of these measures.
Drivers must approach with appropriate caution and give way when required by local law. Pedestrians must also observe approaching traffic and follow any pedestrian signals or instructions from authorised traffic controllers.
When must drivers give way at a pedestrian crossing in Chile?
Pedestrians have priority at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. Approach a zebra crossing ready to stop and give way when someone is preparing to cross. At controlled crossings, follow the signals, allow pedestrians who began lawfully to finish despite a signal change, and yield to pedestrians when turning.

Are all pedestrian crossings controlled the same way in Chile?
A warning that pedestrians may cross ahead is different from a marked or signal-controlled crossing. Look for the actual crossing marking, pedestrian signals and any supplemental signs.

May I enter a pedestrian crossing if the road beyond it is blocked in Chile?
Wait before entering until you can clear the crossing and keep pedestrians visible. Article 123 prohibits overtaking or passing at an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing or junction, with an exception where these are regulated. At regulated crossings, obey the applicable signals, pedestrian priority and other overtaking restrictions; do not treat an adjacent lane as automatically safe.
