You want to go straight through an intersection without traffic lights in a school zone. Just before the intersection there is a crosswalk without traffic lights, and children are on the sidewalk to your right. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) wants to go straight
- School zone (speed limit 30 km/h)
- Crosswalk without traffic lights (with stop line) just before the intersection
- Two children on the sidewalk to your right
In a school zone, you must make a temporary stop in front of a crosswalk without a traffic light whether or not anyone is crossing (Article 27(7) of the Road Traffic Act), and the zone's speed limit applies inside intersections too (Article 12(1)). Do not be fooled by conditions like 'if no one is crossing.'
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
In a school zone you must make a temporary stop before a crosswalk without traffic lights (at the stop line if there is one) regardless of whether anyone is crossing (Road Traffic Act Article 27(7)). A school zone limits speed to 30 km/h or less (Article 12(1)), and this applies inside the intersection too. Children on the sidewalk may dart out, so drive slowly and watch them; startling them with the horn is wrong.
