Passing target: 85% (34/40)
You drive in the right lane of a street with two lanes in your direction. At a marked crosswalk in the middle of the block, a pedestrian is in the left lane and walks toward your lane. What must you do?
A approaches a marked midblock crosswalk in the right lane. B is in the adjacent left lane, walking toward A’s lane.
Correct answer: Stop, and stay stopped until the pedestrian has passed your lane
Why
Pedestrians are easily hurt, and a vehicle in the next lane can hide them from you. Do not pass a vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian at a crosswalk. The same stop rule applies at any intersection on a road with a speed limit of 35 mph or less, even where no crosswalk is marked (§ 46.2-924).
