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.
At a crosswalk, you must yield to pedestrians.
Why this is the answer
The manual states plainly that pedestrians have the right of way at all crosswalks. It tells drivers to yield to pedestrians when turning and at every crosswalk and intersection, marked or unmarked, and to stop well back from the crossing so other drivers can see people crossing. Even without a traffic signal, the driver must give way when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk or in danger. The stop sign section repeats the same idea: yield to vehicles and pedestrians in or heading toward the intersection.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Pedestrians must yield to you. — The manual says pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks, so the duty to yield falls on the driver, not the person on foot.
- C. Construction workers must yield to you. — Nothing in these passages says construction workers must yield to you at a crosswalk; the rule described puts the driver's yield duty toward pedestrians.
Remember it
Think of the crosswalk as the pedestrian's space: your job is to slow down early and stop well back so others can see them too.
