Match each vulnerable road user situation on the left with the legally required driver action on the right.
- A pedestrian carrying a white cane with a red tip is waiting at a street corner.Come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to allow the pedestrian to cross safely.
- Overtaking a bicyclist traveling in the same direction on a roadway without a bike lane.Maintain a safe minimum lateral distance of at least three feet when passing.
- Approaching an uncontrolled intersection where a pedestrian has entered an unmarked crosswalk.Yield the right-of-way and allow the pedestrian to complete crossing before proceeding.
Answer
Visually impaired pedestrian with a white cane matches with coming to a complete stop and yielding; overtaking a bicyclist matches with maintaining a minimum 3-foot clearance; pedestrian in an unmarked crosswalk at an uncontrolled intersection matches with yielding the right-of-way to allow them to cross.
Each vulnerable road user situation is paired with its specific statutory driver duty: visually impaired pedestrians require a mandatory complete stop and yield; passing bicyclists requires at least three feet of lateral clearance; and pedestrians crossing at unmarked intersection crosswalks maintain right-of-way over motor vehicles.
