Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
You will drive past a pedestrian walking on the public road’s shoulder. What minimum lateral clearance does Maine require during the pass?
Correct answer: 3 feet
Why
Exercise due care and leave at least three feet between the vehicle and a pedestrian on the road or shoulder while passing. If that clearance cannot be provided safely, wait rather than squeeze by. Maine allows passing a pedestrian in a no-passing zone only when safe; that exception does not excuse a conflict with approaching traffic.
