Question

Difficulty: MediumPedestrians and Crosswalk Safety

When approaching a multi-lane roundabout, drivers entering the intersection are legally required to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in marked crosswalks across the entry lanes before entering the circulatory roadway.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is True. Drivers entering a roundabout must yield to pedestrians crossing the entry lanes before yielding to circulating traffic and entering the roundabout flow.
The statement is true because traffic laws mandate that drivers approaching a roundabout must stop or yield for pedestrians crossing within marked crosswalks at the entry lanes before proceeding to yield to traffic inside the roundabout.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the roadway scenario at a roundabout approach
Identified a vehicle approaching a roundabout entrance with marked pedestrian crosswalks across entry lanes.
Traffic laws regulate right-of-way rules at roundabout access points for both pedestrians and motor vehicles.
2
Determine legal right-of-way priorities
Pedestrians in marked entry crosswalks have right-of-way priority over entering vehicles.
Drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing entry lanes first, and then yield to circulating traffic on their left before entering the roundabout.
