Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
A vehicle ahead has stopped at a marked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. May you overtake and pass that stopped vehicle?
Blue car A approaches a marked crosswalk behind silver car B, which is stopped at the crossing. A pedestrian is in the crosswalk on the cars' half of the road.
Correct answer: No; remain behind it while it is stopped for the pedestrian.
Why
Do not overtake a vehicle that has stopped at a marked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. The pedestrian may be hidden from you. Wait and keep the crossing clear. Separately, drivers must yield under the marked-crosswalk rule and must not enter when there is insufficient space beyond it.
