Warning sign
Pedestrian Crossing Sign
People cross here. The fluorescent yellow-green colour is reserved for pedestrian, school, and bicycle warnings so they stand out from ordinary yellow.
What to do
Slow and scan both kerbs, not just the marked crossing. Never overtake a vehicle stopped at a crossing -- it is almost certainly stopped for someone you cannot see.
