Sharing the roadQuestion 257 of 412

You stop for a pedestrian who is about to cross between intersections. Why should you not wave the pedestrian across?

  1. The driver behind or in other lanes may not expect you to stop
  2. Pedestrians must wait for a signal
  3. A wave takes away the pedestrian’s right-of-way
  4. Pedestrians cannot cross between intersections
Show answer

Correct answer: The driver behind or in other lanes may not expect you to stop

Other drivers may not see the person and may hit them. Do not invite people to cross.
