The answer options
- Solid red
- Flashing amber
- Flashing green
- Solid amberCorrect
Why that is the answer
Puffin crossings run on a standard traffic light sequence, so a green light is followed by a solid amber light. This requires you to stop unless it is unsafe to do so. Do not confuse puffin crossings with pelican crossings, which use a flashing amber signal. Puffin crossings use intelligent sensors to monitor pedestrians, eliminating the need for a flashing phase. The Highway Code confirms that puffin light sequences match normal traffic lights.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from attitude appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
