If you are approaching an intersection and there are pedestrians without a crosswalk, the correct action is to?

• A. Stop and let the pedestrians finish crossing
• B. Speed up to pass them
• C. Ignore them if they appear slow
• D. Sound your horn to hurry them

Answer: (A)

Pedestrians have the right of way in and entering an intersection, even if there isn’t a marked crosswalk. If people are in the intersection or about to cross, you must slow or stop to let them finish crossing before you proceed. This rule protects pedestrians and prevents collisions. Accelerating past them, ignoring them, or honking to hurry them creates danger and is not allowed. Stay patient, make eye contact if possible, and proceed only when the way is clear.
