When you are facing a green light and there are pedestrians in the intersection:
- You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians. ✓
- You have the right-of-way over pedestrians.
- Pedestrians must wait for you to cross.
Answer: A. You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.
You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, even when you are facing a green light.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says pedestrians always have the right-of-way. At a green traffic signal, you proceed with caution, not with an automatic claim to the intersection. It also tells you to stop for any pedestrian in the intersection and to go only when you have enough space without creating danger. So a green light lets you move ahead only if the way is clear; people on foot in the intersection come first.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. You have the right-of-way over pedestrians. — A green light does not give you priority over people on foot, because the handbook says pedestrians have the right-of-way.
- C. Pedestrians must wait for you to cross. — Pedestrians are not required to wait for you when they are already in the intersection, since you must stop for them before proceeding.
Remember it
Green light, clear feet: people in the intersection go before you do.
