At night, it is hardest to see:
- Road signs.
- Pedestrians. ✓
- Other motorists.
- Street lights.
Answer: B. Pedestrians.
At night, pedestrians are the hardest to see.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's pedestrian section tells people walking at night to wear white or light clothing and/or carry a light or reflector. That advice points to the visibility problem: a person on foot is hard for a driver to pick out in the dark. The passages do not make the same night-visibility point about road signs, other motorists, or street lights. The right-of-way chapter also tells drivers to stay on the lookout for pedestrians whether or not they have the right-of-way, reinforcing that drivers must watch for people on foot.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Road signs. — The passages do not say road signs are the hardest thing to see at night or discuss sign visibility in the dark.
- C. Other motorists. — The passages do not state that other motorists are the hardest to see at night or compare their visibility with pedestrians.
- D. Street lights. — Street lights are lighting rather than a road user, and the passages do not say they are hardest to see at night.
Remember it
Picture a walker in dark clothes after sunset; the handbook's clothing and reflector advice points to pedestrians as the night visibility concern.
