You drive in the right lane of a four-lane street in a residential area. In the left lane ahead of you, a car stops at a marked crosswalk. You cannot see why it stopped. What should you do?
A approaches in the right lane of a four-lane street. B has stopped ahead in the left lane at the marked crosswalk, hiding what may be in front.
Correct answer: Slow down, and do not pass the stopped car until you know no one is crossing.
Why
In towns, South Dakota law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and in the unmarked crossings at the ends of blocks (SDCL 32-27-1). A stopped vehicle can hide a person who is crossing, so treat any vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk as a warning. Stop behind the crosswalk if you must, and go only when you can see that the crossing is clear.
