You drive a nearly silent electric car. Ahead, a person with a white cane waits at the curb of a crosswalk. What should you do?
Quiet electric car A approaches a marked crosswalk while B waits at the curb with a white cane. An enlarged detail identifies the cane.
Correct answer: Stop within 5 feet of the crosswalk, and give the person a few seconds to decide.
Why
Electric vehicles can be nearly silent, so their drivers must be extra alert for pedestrians who cannot see. A person with a white cane or a guide dog has the right-of-way, and you must come to a full stop if necessary. A wait of 3 to 4 seconds is a good guide; if the person steps back and pulls in the cane, you may go.
