A pedestrian is crossing the road where there is no crosswalk. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight on a road with one lane each way
- A pedestrian is crossing where there is no crosswalk
- Car A is coming from the opposite direction
💡 Hint
When a pedestrian is crossing a road with no crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop at a safe distance so they can cross safely (Article 27(5) of the Road Traffic Act). The trap is thinking 'no crosswalk means no duty to protect', so expect the pedestrian to soon enter your lane.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
When a pedestrian is crossing a road where there is no crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop at a safe distance so they can cross safely (Road Traffic Act Article 27(5)). The pedestrian will soon be in your lane, so slowing down early is safe. The duty to protect pedestrians does not disappear just because there is no crosswalk, and crossing the centerline also risks hitting oncoming car A.
