Your light turns green. A pedestrian who started to cross in front of you on the WALK signal is still in the crosswalk, and the pedestrian signal now flashes DON'T WALK. What should you do?
Blue A faces a green traffic light. Pedestrian B remains in the crosswalk after starting on WALK; the pedestrian detail is labeled as flashing DON’T WALK.
Correct answer: Wait until the pedestrian is out of your path; a person who started on WALK may finish.
Why
A flashing DON'T WALK signal tells pedestrians not to start crossing, but a person who started on WALK may finish crossing to the far side. Vermont law requires drivers facing a green light, including turning drivers, to yield to pedestrians lawfully in the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk. Wait until your path is clear, and give extra time to children, older people and people with disabilities.
