A driver is parking a vehicle facing uphill along the side of a rural two-lane road that does NOT have a curb. In which direction should the driver turn the front wheels before turning off the engine and setting the parking brake?

To the right, toward the edge of the road

To the left, toward the center of the road

Straight ahead, parallel with the edge of the road

Toward whichever side of the road has the widest paved shoulder

Show answer & explanation

Answer: To the right, toward the edge of the road

Answer

To the right, toward the edge of the road

When parking facing uphill on a street without a curb, turning the front wheels to the right ensures that if the vehicle's brakes fail, it will roll backward off the road and away from moving traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the parking environment variables (grade and curb status).

The car is facing uphill on a road without a curb.

The presence of a curb determines whether the back of a front tire can lock against a physical barrier.

Determine the rolling hazard path in the event of mechanical brake failure.

Without a curb, turning front wheels to the right forces the rear of the car to roll off the road surface onto the shoulder, preventing collision with traffic.

If turned left without a curb, gravity would roll the car into the roadway.

When driving in the middle lane of a three-lane freeway and preparing to change into the left lane to pass a slower vehicle, which action must you perform before steering into the new lane?

Signal your intent, check your rearview and side mirrors, and perform a shoulder check to look into your blind spot.

Rely entirely on your side and rearview mirrors without turning your head if the mirrors show no approaching cars.

Decrease your following distance to less than one second behind the lead vehicle to minimize time spent changing lanes.

Maintain the maximum posted speed limit even if heavy fog or torrential rain severely reduces road visibility.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Signal your intent, check your rearview and side mirrors, and perform a shoulder check to look into your blind spot.

Answer

Signal your intent, check your rearview and side mirrors, and perform a shoulder check to look into your blind spot.

Safe freeway lane changes require a combination of early signaling, checking mirrors, and performing a physical shoulder check to visually inspect blind spots that mirrors cannot capture.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify necessary safety checks before initiating a freeway lane change

Recognize that vehicle mirrors leave blind spots on either side of the vehicle.

Mirrors cannot capture vehicles traveling directly adjacent to your rear quarter panels.

Select the complete safety sequence required by traffic safety standards

Question 2103Question →

You are traveling on a two-lane highway and preparing to pass a slow-moving truck. The roadway has a broken yellow line on your side, but you are approaching a railroad crossing located approximately 75 feet ahead. What is the legally correct action to take?

Wait until you have cleared the railroad crossing before initiating the pass.

Begin passing immediately because a broken yellow line provides absolute authorization to cross into the opposing lane.

Exceed the posted speed limit briefly to complete the maneuver before reaching the railway tracks.

Proceed with the pass as long as there are no active signal lights or approaching trains visible at the crossing.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Wait until you have cleared the railroad crossing before initiating the pass.

Answer

Wait until you have cleared the railroad crossing before initiating the pass.

Traffic regulations prohibit passing or driving on the left side of the roadway within 100 feet of an intersection, railroad crossing, bridge, or tunnel. Even if pavement markings indicate a broken yellow line, approaching within 75 feet of a railway crossing makes passing illegal until the vehicle has completely passed the hazardous area.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify upcoming road hazards and distance restrictions.

Recognize that a railroad crossing is located 75 feet ahead of the vehicle.

Traffic safety laws specify strict distance buffers where passing into opposing traffic lanes is dangerous.

Apply traffic laws regarding passing zones near special structures.

Determine that passing is prohibited within 100 feet of railroad crossings, bridges, tunnels, and intersections.

Special hazards and restricted visibility at crossings elevate collision risks during passing maneuvers.

Select the correct driving response.

Delay the passing maneuver until well past the 100-foot boundary after crossing the tracks.

Pavement markings such as broken yellow lines do not override statutory passing prohibitions near hazardous zones.

Question 2104Question →

On a multi-lane divided freeway with three travel lanes moving in the same direction, under which of the following conditions is a driver legally permitted to drive continuously in the far-left lane?

When traveling at or above the posted maximum speed limit, regardless of surrounding traffic flow.

When actively passing slower-moving vehicles, preparing for a left exit, or responding to traffic control signs.

Whenever the right lanes contain heavy commercial truck traffic, regardless of whether the driver is passing.

At any time, provided the driver maintains a minimum turn signal distance of 100 feet prior to any maneuver.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: When actively passing slower-moving vehicles, preparing for a left exit, or responding to traffic control signs.

Answer

A driver is legally permitted to travel in the far-left lane when actively passing slower vehicles, preparing to turn left or exit on the left, or when directed by traffic control devices.

On multi-lane expressways and freeways, the far-left lane is intended for passing slower traffic, preparing for left exits, or adhering to explicit lane control signals. Once passing is completed, drivers must safely return to a right lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the primary legal designation of the far-left lane on multi-lane highways.

On multi-lane highways, the far-left lane is designated primarily for passing slower vehicles and facilitating left-hand exits.

Traffic regulation standards mandate keeping right except to pass to maintain orderly traffic flow and prevent dangerous highway congestion.

Evaluate allowable exceptions to the keep-right rule.

Exceptions exist when a driver is actively overtaking another vehicle, navigating a left-side ramp or exit, or complying with designated lane-use signs or law enforcement directions.

These specific scenarios allow temporary or conditional occupancy of the left lane while preserving overall safety.

Question 2105Question →

You are driving on a roadway with a dedicated center lane bounded by a solid yellow line on the outside and a broken yellow line on the inside. Which of the following is the only legal maneuver permitted in this center lane?

Entering the lane to prepare for or make a left turn.

Overtaking and passing slower-moving vehicles traveling in your direction.

Traveling for extended distances to accelerate before merging into through traffic.

Passing another vehicle when approaching within 100 feet of an intersection.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Entering the lane to prepare for or make a left turn.

Answer

Entering the lane to prepare for or make a left turn.

A center lane marked by a solid outer yellow line and a broken inner yellow line is a shared two-way left-turn lane. Under traffic law, this lane is intended solely for drivers making left turns or permitted U-turns across oncoming lanes of traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the pavement marking pattern described in the scenario.

A center lane bounded by solid outer yellow lines and broken inner yellow lines indicates a shared two-way left-turn lane.

Standard road markings use this specific combination to separate turning traffic from through traffic in both directions.

Apply statutory traffic rules for two-way center left-turn lanes.

Drivers entering from either direction may only use this lane to prepare for or complete left turns or U-turns where permitted.

Using this shared lane for passing or through driving poses a severe head-on collision risk with opposing vehicles.

Question 2106Question →

You are driving on a road during a heavy rainstorm where the posted speed limit is $45\text{ mph}$ . Water has accumulated on the pavement, reducing tire traction. According to safe driving practices and the Basic Speed Law, how should you adjust your driving?

Maintain your speed at

45\text{ mph}

because driving at the posted speed limit is always legally compliant regardless of weather conditions.

Reduce your speed below

45\text{ mph}

and increase your following distance to allow extra stopping space on the slippery surface.

Maintain your speed at

45\text{ mph}

while decreasing your following distance to

1

second to keep up with traffic flow.

Reduce your speed below

45\text{ mph}

, but shorten your following distance to

2

seconds because lower speeds require less reaction time.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Reduce your speed below $45\text{ mph}$ and increase your following distance to allow extra stopping space on the slippery surface.

Answer

Reduce your speed below the posted speed limit and increase your following distance to allow extra stopping space on the slippery surface.

The Basic Speed Law requires drivers to adjust their speed downward from posted limits when weather or road conditions create hazards such as rain and reduced tire traction. In addition, because wet pavement increases stopping distance, defensive driving rules require expanding the following distance buffer to allow sufficient space to react and stop safely.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the environmental hazard and its impact on vehicle control.

Heavy rain and accumulated water decrease tire traction and lengthen braking distance.

Reduced grip means a vehicle takes significantly more distance to stop safely.

Apply the Basic Speed Law.

Determine that driving at the posted speed limit of

45\text{ mph}

is unsafe under wet conditions.

The Basic Speed Law dictates that safe speeds depend on weather and road conditions, not just the posted sign.

Determine the necessary following distance adjustment.

Increase the following distance beyond the normal dry-road standard.

An expanded safety buffer provides necessary reaction time and stopping space when traction is compromised.

Question 2107Question →

When parallel parking a passenger vehicle along a level street curb, what is the maximum distance allowed by standard traffic laws between the vehicle's tires and the curb?

18 inches

6 inches

24 inches

36 inches

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 18 inches

Answer

The maximum legal distance allowed between a parked vehicle's tires and the curb is 18 inches.

Standard traffic regulations mandate that when parallel parking along a street, a driver must position the vehicle parallel to the curb with both front and rear tires within 18 inches (1.5 feet) of the curb line to keep the vehicle safely within the parking lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the standard statutory requirement for parallel parking distance from a curb.

Standard motor vehicle codes specify that parked vehicles must be centered parallel to the curb with right-hand wheels within 18 inches of the curb.

Ensuring tires are within 18 inches prevents the vehicle body from extending dangerously into lanes of moving traffic.

Question 2108Question →

Match each traffic scenario involving a vulnerable road user on the left with the corresponding legal duty required of a motor vehicle driver on the right.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Show answer & explanation

Answer

The correct pairings match each vulnerable road user scenario with its statutory driver legal requirement: visually impaired pedestrian requires yielding right-of-way and stopping completely; frightened horse requires reducing speed or stopping while avoiding loud noises; narrow lane bicyclist requires allowing full lane use and waiting or changing lanes to pass; solid red HAWK signal requires stopping completely at the stop line and yielding.

Each scenario maps directly to specific provisions governing vulnerable road users. Visually impaired pedestrians always have right-of-way at any intersection. Drivers encountering frightened equestrians must stop or slow down without making loud noises. Bicyclists on narrow roads may legally occupy the center of the lane for safety. Solid red lights on pedestrian hybrid beacons mandate a complete stop prior to the crosswalk.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the white cane scenario

Identify that white canes indicate visually impaired pedestrians who have explicit statutory right-of-way at all intersections.

Traffic laws grant absolute right-of-way to blind pedestrians using white canes or service animals.

Analyze the frightened animal scenario

Identify driver obligations to reduce speed, stop if necessary, and refrain from sounding the horn.

Motorists must exercise special care around ridden or driven animals to prevent dangerous runaways or thrown riders.

Analyze the narrow lane bicycle scenario

Recognize that bicyclists are legally permitted to take the lane when lane width prevents safe side-by-side passing.

Crowding a cyclist in a narrow lane creates severe collision hazards; drivers must wait until a safe lane change or passing opportunity exists.

Analyze the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon solid red light scenario

Match solid red on a HAWK signal with the requirement to bring the vehicle to a complete stop at the line.

Solid red on a HAWK signal functions identically to a standard solid red traffic light.

Question 2109Question →

An auto insurance company notifies the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that a registered vehicle's liability coverage has lapsed and was canceled. If the owner fails to submit new proof of financial responsibility or file an affidavit of non-use, which administrative action will the DMV take?

Suspend the vehicle's registration until valid insurance coverage is submitted and verified

Immediately impose a mandatory one-year driver license revocation under implied consent statutes

Classify the unverified insurance status as an unattended hit-and-run criminal violation

Reclassify the driver's standard license into a provisional permit subject to GDL curfew restrictions

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Suspend the vehicle's registration until valid insurance coverage is submitted and verified

Answer

Suspend the vehicle's registration until valid insurance coverage is submitted and verified

Motor vehicle codes require vehicle owners to maintain continuous mandatory financial responsibility (liability insurance). When an insurance policy is canceled and no new proof or non-use affidavit is filed, the DMV enforces compliance by suspending the vehicle's registration until active liability coverage is verified.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the legal requirement for vehicle registration

Motor vehicle laws require continuous mandatory financial responsibility (liability insurance) for registered operational vehicles.

Vehicle registration privileges are legally tied to active financial responsibility.

Determine the consequence of an uncorrected insurance cancellation notification

When an insurer reports a cancellation and no replacement proof or non-use affidavit is submitted, the DMV suspends the vehicle registration.

Suspension prevents the legal operation of an uninsured vehicle on public roadways.

Question 2110Question →

A driver approaches an intersection where the traffic signal displays a solid green light. However, a police officer standing in the intersection gestures for the driver to stop. Which of the following actions must the driver take?

Stop as directed by the police officer, regardless of the green light.

Proceed through the intersection because a green traffic light takes precedence over manual signals.

Slow down and yield only if cross traffic is actively entering the roadway.

Pass stopped vehicles on the right shoulder to clear the intersection quickly.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Stop as directed by the police officer, regardless of the green light.

Answer

Stop as directed by the police officer, regardless of the green light.

Manual directions from a police officer or designated traffic controller always take precedence over electronic traffic signals and road signs. When an officer directs a vehicle to stop, the driver must obey immediately, even if the traffic light is green.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the controlling authority at the intersection.

A police officer is manually directing traffic while the signal light is solid green.

Drivers must determine which signal or person has legal precedence.

Apply statutory right-of-way hierarchy rules.

Manual signals given by a authorized traffic officer override automatic traffic lights.

Law enforcement officers manage active conditions and hazards that electronic signals cannot adapt to.

Key Concept

Police officer directions take priority over automatic traffic signals and signs.

Question 2111Question →

It is legal for a driver to double park next to a vehicle already parked at the curb if the vehicle's hazard lights are turned on and the stop is under two minutes.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: False

Answer

False

Double parking is illegal because stopping a vehicle alongside another parked vehicle blocks an active lane of travel, impeding traffic flow and creating visual obstruction for other motorists and pedestrians.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the rule regarding double parking on public roadways.

Traffic regulations prohibit parking or stopping on the roadway side of any vehicle already parked at the curb or edge of a street.

Double parking forces trailing traffic into opposing lanes or causes unexpected slowdowns and severe congestion.

Evaluate whether hazard lights or short duration create an exception.

Hazard lights and brief durations do not exempt a driver from double parking laws.

Hazard lights serve to warn of emergency hazards, not to grant permission to block active traffic lanes.

Question 2112Question →

Under normal weather and clear traffic conditions, a driver is legally permitted to travel significantly below the posted minimum speed limit on a freeway as long as their hazard lights are flashing.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: False

Answer

The statement is False. Hazard lights do not grant permission to drive below minimum speed requirements under normal traffic conditions.

The statement is false because driving significantly below the minimum speed limit under clear conditions impedes traffic, and activating hazard lights does not exempt a driver from minimum speed regulations.

Step-by-Step Solution

Examine freeway speed regulation rules under normal conditions.

Freeways enforce minimum speed limits and regulations against impeding the normal and reasonable flow of traffic when road conditions are good.

Vehicles traveling significantly slower than surrounding traffic create severe crash risks on high-speed roadways.

Evaluate the legal function of hazard warning lights.

Hazard lights are intended to alert other drivers to an emergency or disabled vehicle, not to allow continuous driving below legal speed thresholds.

Activating hazard lights does not exempt a driver from basic traffic flow laws.

Question 2113Question →

When a vehicle ahead is waiting to make a left turn, a driver is legally permitted to pass it on the right by driving onto the paved shoulder.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: False

Answer

False. Drivers are strictly prohibited from driving onto the shoulder to pass another vehicle.

The statement is false because traffic laws strictly prohibit driving onto the shoulder—whether paved or unpaved—to pass another vehicle under any circumstance. Passing on the right is only legal when there is a dedicated, clear lane of travel provided on the roadway itself.

Step-by-Step Solution

Evaluate the legality of driving on the shoulder for passing.

Shoulders are reserved for emergencies and are not designated traffic lanes.

Traffic safety regulations prohibit using unpaved or paved road shoulders as active lanes of travel.

Determine legal conditions for passing on the right.

Passing on the right is only permitted when there is an available, unobstructed lane of traffic on the main roadway.

You must never leave the paved, main-traveled roadway surface to complete a pass.

Question 2114Question →

A driver traveling at 45 mph on a multi-lane city avenue intends to make a right turn at an upcoming intersection where a dedicated right-turn lane begins 150 feet prior to the corner. Which of the following procedures describes the correct sequence for signaling, lane positioning, and yielding during this maneuver?

Activate the right turn signal continuously at least 100 feet before moving into the dedicated right-turn lane, transition smoothly into the turn lane, and yield to any pedestrians crossing the street prior to completing the turn.

Merge into the dedicated right-turn lane first, then activate the right turn signal continuously for 50 feet prior to the intersection while maintaining right-of-way over pedestrians already in the crosswalk.

Wait to activate the turn signal until reaching the intersection stop line, yield right-of-way to oncoming left-turning vehicles, and complete the turn into the farthest left lane of the cross street.

Activate the signal 100 feet before the turn, cross over the solid yellow line marking the turn lane buffer zone early to decelerate, and complete the turn into any open lane without yielding.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Activate the right turn signal continuously at least 100 feet before moving into the dedicated right-turn lane, transition smoothly into the turn lane, and yield to any pedestrians crossing the street prior to completing the turn.

Answer

The correct sequence requires signaling continuously at least 100 feet before entering the dedicated turn lane, making a smooth lane transition, and yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk before completing the turn into the rightmost lane.

The correct response accurately synthesizes all three legal requirements for turning: signaling at least 100 feet before initiating the movement into the turn lane, entering the turn lane safely, and yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk before finishing the turn into the rightmost lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

Determine required signal timing and lane entry procedure.

Drivers must activate the turn signal at least 100 feet before initiating any maneuver, including merging into a dedicated turn lane.

Early signaling warns trailing and adjacent traffic of speed reductions and lateral movements.

Execute the lane positioning step.

Transition into the dedicated right-turn lane only where pavement markings permit (after yellow lines transition to dotted or open entry).

Crossing solid line buffers or channelizing lines violates traffic marking rules.

Identify right-of-way obligations at the intersection.

Yield to pedestrians present in the crosswalk across the intersecting street before completing the right turn.

Pedestrians lawfully in crosswalks maintain right-of-way over turning motor vehicles.

Question 2115Question →

Drivers are legally permitted to double park alongside another parked vehicle if hazard warning lights are activated and the driver remains inside the vehicle for under two minutes.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: False

Answer

False

Double parking is strictly illegal because it obstructs moving traffic and creates safety hazards; activating emergency hazard lights or staying in the vehicle does not make the action legal.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the driver action and traffic situation described in the statement.

The driver is double parking (parking on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked at the curb) while using hazard lights for a brief duration.

Evaluating traffic regulation compliance requires identifying the specific parking maneuver being performed.

Apply standard statutory parking and stopping regulations.

Double parking is strictly illegal in all circumstances because it blocks active traffic lanes, impedes emergency vehicles, and reduces sight lines.

Neither hazard warning lights, brief time intervals, nor remaining inside the vehicle create legal exceptions to the double parking prohibition.

Question 2116Question →

When a traffic light signal at an intersection is completely unpowered and unlit due to a power failure, approaching drivers are legally required to come to a complete stop and treat the intersection as an all-way stop before proceeding.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: True

Answer

True. Approaching drivers must come to a complete stop and treat an unlit traffic signal as an all-way stop.

When an electronic traffic light signal loses power and goes completely dark, traffic safety laws dictate that the intersection defaults to an all-way stop. Every driver must bring their vehicle to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk before yielding right-of-way appropriately.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the operational status of the traffic signal

The signal is completely dark and unlit due to a power outage.

Recognizing that normal automated light sequencing has ceased dictates the default legal protocol.

Apply the fallback right-of-way rule for inactive traffic signals

The intersection operates legally as a multi-way (all-way) stop.

Motor vehicle codes specify that when traffic control signals fail completely, all approaching traffic must come to a full stop and yield to vehicles that arrived first or are to their right.

Question 2117Question →

Three vehicles approach an uncontrolled T-intersection at the same time. Place the vehicles in the correct order in which they have the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection (from first to last).

Drag items to arrange them in the correct order

Show answer & explanation

Answer

The correct order of precedence is: first, the vehicle traveling straight along the through street; second, the vehicle on the through street turning left; and third, the vehicle on the terminating street turning right.

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, traffic traveling on the through street has absolute right-of-way over traffic on the terminating road. On the through street itself, a vehicle moving straight has priority over a vehicle turning left. Therefore, the straight through-vehicle goes first, the left-turning through-vehicle goes second after yielding to oncoming traffic, and the vehicle on the terminating road proceeds last.

Step-by-Step Solution

Determine priority between the through street and the terminating street.

Vehicles on the through street always have right-of-way priority over vehicles on the terminating road.

Standard right-of-way laws require drivers on a road that ends (T-intersection) to yield to all traffic on the continuing road.

Determine priority among vehicles on the through street.

The vehicle traveling straight goes before the vehicle making a left turn.

Drivers turning left across an oncoming lane must yield to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction going straight.

Assign final right-of-way sequence.

The straight vehicle on the through road proceeds first, followed by the left-turning vehicle on the through road, and finally the vehicle entering from the terminating road.

This yields a complete safe order of movement adhering to state DMV standards.

Question 2118Question →

What is the correct sequential order of steps a driver must follow to safely execute a lane change to the left on a multi-lane highway?

Drag items to arrange them in the correct order

Show answer & explanation

Answer

The proper sequence for changing lanes begins with checking mirrors, signaling intent, checking the blind spot over the shoulder, steering smoothly into the lane while maintaining speed, and finally turning off the signal.

Executing a safe lane change requires early observation via mirrors, communicating intent with turn signals, verifying blind spots with a direct head turn, making a smooth lateral transition at speed, and ending communication by canceling the signal.

Step-by-Step Solution

Check rearview and side mirrors

Assesses overall traffic conditions and identifies nearby vehicles.

Before signaling or turning, a driver must confirm basic traffic flow is clear.

Activate the left turn signal

Warns surrounding motorists of the upcoming maneuver.

Communication must occur in advance of the actual vehicle movement.

Check the left blind spot over the shoulder

Ensures no vehicle is hidden in areas not visible in mirrors.

Mirrors leave blind spots that can only be verified by looking directly over the shoulder.

Steer into the destination lane while keeping speed steady

Completes the physical transition between lanes safely.

Abrupt slowing during a lane change creates a collision hazard with trailing vehicles.

Cancel the turn signal

Prevents ongoing misleading signals to other traffic.

Leaving signals on after completing the maneuver causes confusion.

Question 2119Question →

When two vehicles simultaneously use a shared expressway weave lane, the driver merging onto the expressway has the right-of-way over the driver attempting to exit.

True

False

Show answer & explanation

Answer: False

Answer

The statement is false. On a shared expressway weave lane, vehicles exiting the highway have the right-of-way over vehicles merging onto the highway.

The statement is false because traffic exiting an expressway has right-of-way priority over entering traffic in a shared weave lane. The merging driver is expected to adjust speed, yield, or select a gap behind the exiting vehicle to allow a safe transition.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the conflict point in a shared weave lane.

A weave lane acts as both an acceleration lane for entering traffic and a deceleration lane for exiting traffic.

Vehicles are crossing paths at highway speeds within the same auxiliary lane.

Apply the standard traffic safety rule for expressway weave lanes.

The exiting vehicle takes priority over the entering vehicle.

Exiting drivers need to clear high-speed travel lanes safely without sudden braking, so entering drivers must yield and adjust their speed accordingly.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Yield the right-of-way and stop to allow the pedestrian to cross safely.

Answer

Yield the right-of-way and stop to allow the pedestrian to cross safely.

Drivers are legally required to exercise due care and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the legal status of the roadway location.

The location is an intersection with an unmarked crosswalk.

Traffic laws specify that an unmarked crosswalk exists at every standard intersection unless crossing is explicitly prohibited.

Determine the driver's duty to yield.

The driver must yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian entering or crossing in the unmarked crosswalk.

Pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked and unmarked crosswalks.
