Pedestrians And CrosswalksStandalone practice
When stopping to let a pedestrian cross, what setback does Alberta's guide recommend to help drivers in adjacent lanes see the pedestrian?
A and B approach a complete marked crosswalk in adjacent lanes. A pedestrian is crossing ahead, and A has room to stop well before the crosswalk.
Correct answer: Stop about two to three car lengths before the crosswalk
Why
The guide recommends stopping about two to three car lengths before a crosswalk so adjacent drivers can see the pedestrian. Stop safely for the actual conditions and keep the crossing clear; this is visibility guidance rather than a fixed statutory distance.
