Passing target: 80% (16/20)
You are in the left lane of a street with two lanes going your way. Ahead, a car in the right lane stops at a marked crosswalk. You cannot see why it stopped. What should you do?
A approaches in the left of two lanes in its direction. Silver B is stopped in the right lane before a marked crosswalk. No pedestrian or reason for B’s stop is revealed.
Correct answer: Stop before the crosswalk, and do not pass the car that has stopped.
Why
Passing a car that has stopped at a crosswalk is a frequent cause of pedestrian deaths, because the stopped car hides the pedestrian from you. Vermont law does not let you overtake and pass a vehicle that has stopped at a crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. Where no traffic signals are working, you must also yield to any pedestrian who crosses in a crosswalk, and slow down or stop as needed. When you stop, do not block the crosswalk with any part of your vehicle.
