Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You approach an intersection with no traffic signal. There are no painted crosswalk lines. A pedestrian starts to cross your street at the corner. What must you do?
A approaches an uncontrolled intersection. B starts crossing from the near corner, where the sidewalks continue across the street but no crosswalk stripes are painted.
Correct answer: Stop for the pedestrian, because an unmarked crosswalk exists at the corner.
Why
The 2026 manual says to come to a complete stop, not just slow down or yield, for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk or crossing at an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Stay stopped until the pedestrian has safely cleared your lane and the next lane in your direction. Pedestrians have the right-of-way at intersections in most cases, so slow down and scan every corner before you go through.
