At an uncontrolled crosswalk, a pedestrian stands at the entrance and raises an arm toward your approaching traffic to indicate an intention to cross. What must you do?
Blue car A approaches a marked uncontrolled crosswalk on a one-way street. A pedestrian at the upper curb entrance to the crosswalk raises a hand and arm toward the approaching traffic. An enlarged detail shows the same gesture.
Correct answer: Yield, and slow or stop so the person can cross.
Why
Yield when a pedestrian at the crosswalk entrance signals an intention to cross by raising a hand or arm toward approaching traffic. Slow or stop as needed. The rule also recognizes a body part or specified aid extended into the entrance. Pedestrians must not suddenly step into an immediate hazard and must yield to an authorized emergency vehicle, but drivers must still use due care. Do not require the person to step fully into your lane before you respond.
