Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You drive in the right lane of a street that has two lanes in your direction. Ahead, a car in the left lane stops at a marked crosswalk. From your seat, you cannot see anyone in the crosswalk. What must you do?
A approaches in the right of two same-direction lanes. B has stopped ahead in the left lane at a marked crosswalk; no pedestrian is visible in front of B.
Correct answer: Stop before the crosswalk, and do not pass the stopped car until the crossing is clear.
Why
On streets with two or more lanes, a frequent crash happens when one driver stops for a pedestrian and a driver in the next lane passes and hits the person who walks out in front of the stopped car. The Rhode Island manual tells drivers to watch for pedestrians who step out from between vehicles. The rule applies at marked crosswalks and at unmarked crosswalks at intersections.
