What should a pedestrian do when the green man disappears while crossing in Northern Ireland?

Continue safely to the far side without delaying; the signal changing does not mean you should turn back.

Under Highway Code rule 21, someone who has already started crossing should still have time to reach the other side. Do not begin a new crossing once the green indication has gone. Keep checking for turning vehicles and avoid stopping in the carriageway.
