At a crosswalk without traffic lights, a pedestrian has started crossing from the side of the opposite lanes. Car A in the opposite direction has stopped before the crosswalk. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Crosswalk without traffic lights; a pedestrian is crossing on the opposite-lane side
- Car A in the opposite direction has stopped before the crosswalk
- Two lanes in each direction
When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop before it (at the stop line if there is one) (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). This duty does not disappear just because the pedestrian is still on the opposite-lane side.
Answer: ①, ③
Explanation
When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop before it, at the stop line if there is one (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)). Even if the pedestrian is still on the opposite-lane side, they will soon pass in front of your car, so this is no exception. Move off after the pedestrian has crossed and you have looked both ways. Rushing through in the meantime or hurrying the pedestrian with the horn obstructs their crossing.
