Difficulty: EasyPedestrians and Crosswalk Safety

If a pedestrian is still in a marked crosswalk when your traffic signal turns green, you must yield the right-of-way and wait for them to finish crossing before proceeding.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. Drivers must yield to pedestrians already established within a crosswalk when the signal changes to green.
State traffic laws mandate that drivers turning or proceeding straight on a green signal must yield to pedestrians who are still crossing within the crosswalk.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the driver's duty at a green traffic light when pedestrians are present in the crosswalk.
A green signal permits a driver to proceed only after yielding to pedestrians lawfully in the intersection or crosswalk.
Traffic safety regulations dictate that drivers must exercise due care to protect pedestrians established in the roadway regardless of signal changes.
