- BMaintain your speed and direction because vehicles have the right-of-way at intersections lacking marked crosswalks.
- CSound your horn to signal the pedestrian to wait on the sidewalk until your vehicle passes.
- DSlow down and proceed without stopping as long as you maintain a safe distance from the pedestrian.
Cevap
Stop completely and yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian regardless of whether a crosswalk is marked.
Traffic safety statutes dictate that every intersection has an unmarked crosswalk unless explicitly prohibited. Drivers must yield the right-of-way and stop completely for pedestrians crossing at an intersection. Furthermore, special protection laws require drivers to yield right-of-way to visually impaired pedestrians carrying a white cane or accompanied by a guide dog.
