At a crosswalk:
- You must yield to pedestrians. ✓
- Pedestrians must yield to you.
- Construction workers must yield to you.
Answer: A. You must yield to pedestrians.
You must yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked and unmarked crosswalks. When someone is crossing, you must use caution, slow down, or stop so they can finish crossing safely. It also says to yield if a pedestrian makes eye contact with you, and not to pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk because a pedestrian may be hidden. This makes yielding the driver's responsibility, not the pedestrian's.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Pedestrians must yield to you. — This reverses the handbook rule: pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks, so you yield to them rather than expecting them to yield to you.
- C. Construction workers must yield to you. — The passages say nothing that puts construction workers ahead of you at a crosswalk; the crosswalk rule is about yielding to pedestrians.
Remember it
Think of the crosswalk as the pedestrian's turn: marked or unmarked, you wait for them.
