Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
There are no operating traffic signals. A pedestrian is crossing a marked crosswalk on your half of the roadway. What must you do?
At an unsignalized marked crosswalk, a pedestrian is on the half of the roadway used by A and B. Silver B is ahead of approaching blue A.
Correct answer: Yield and keep the crossing clear until it is safe to proceed.
Why
Yield, slowing or stopping as needed, to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk on your half of the traveled roadway. The duty also applies when a pedestrian approaches from the opposite half to within ten feet of your half. Keep the crossing clear and never pass a vehicle stopped for a crossing pedestrian.
