You are about to drive a passenger car through a pedestrian-only road where the police chief has permitted vehicles. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
Even on a pedestrian-only road, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan/Provincial Police Agency or a police station chief may allow vehicles (Article 28(2) of the Road Traffic Act), but the speed and manner drivers must then keep are set separately (paragraph 3). Being allowed to drive there does not mean vehicles have priority.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Vehicles may not use a pedestrian-only road in principle, but the provincial police commissioner or police chief may permit them when especially necessary (Road Traffic Act Article 28(2)). Drivers must then move at the pedestrians' walking speed or stop temporarily so as not to endanger or obstruct them (Article 28(3)). Being permitted does not give the car priority.
