Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You approach this sign where your street joins a busier road. A pedestrian is in the crosswalk in front of you, and a car on the busier road is close. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down, stop if needed, and let the pedestrian and the car go first
Why
Under New York law, a driver at this sign slows to a safe speed, stops if needed, and yields to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to vehicles close enough to be a hazard. If you pass the sign without stopping and then hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection, the law treats the crash as evidence that you failed to yield. Unlike a STOP sign, this sign does not require a stop when the way is clear.
