You approach an intersection with no traffic signal. At the corner on your right, a person holds a white cane out in front and is about to step into the street to cross in front of you. What must you do?
A approaches an intersection without traffic signals. B is on the right corner holding a white cane out in front and is about to step into the street; an enlarged detail makes the cane pose clear.
Correct answer: Come to a full stop before the intersection, and let the person cross before you go.
Why
A pedestrian who is blind or has low vision uses the sound of traffic to decide when to cross. After you stop, do not start a right turn on red that the person may not expect. Be especially careful in an electric or hybrid car, because a quiet vehicle is hard to hear.
