Right of wayQuestion 105 of 296

You come to an intersection with no painted crosswalk lines. A person waits at the curb to cross. What must you do?

  1. Go on, because there are no painted lines
  2. Go on if the person has not stepped off the curb
  3. Sound your horn so the person waits
  4. Yield, because the intersection has an unmarked crosswalk
Show answer

Correct answer: Yield, because the intersection has an unmarked crosswalk

The law counts the part of an intersection where the sidewalk edges would cross as a crosswalk, even with no paint. You must yield to a person at the edge of the road who may lawfully cross.
