Passing target: 70% (28/40)
You drive along a city street. In the middle of the block, away from any crosswalk, a pedestrian steps off the curb and starts to cross ahead of you. What is true?
Blue A approaches a person B who has just stepped from the south curb into the eastbound lane. The city street has continuous curbs and sidewalks, with no junction or crosswalk in the view. No route, stop instruction or right-of-way claim appears.
Correct answer: The pedestrian must yield to you, but you must still slow down and be ready to stop.
Why
Right-of-way rules tell who should yield, but they never allow a driver to hit a person. Pedestrians who cross between intersections are hard to predict, and a child or a confused person needs extra care. Between two intersections that both have working traffic signals, a pedestrian may cross only in a marked crosswalk.
