You are driving through a narrow alley with no separate sidewalk and no centerline. A pedestrian is walking along the side of the road ahead. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
The duty when passing a pedestrian on a narrow road with no separation between sidewalk and roadway is set out in Article 27(6)1 of the Road Traffic Act. Think about what is required in terms of distance, speed, and stopping, and be wary of using the horn or the idea that 'cars come first' to make pedestrians move aside.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 27(6)(1), when passing a pedestrian on a road without separate sidewalk and roadway and without a centerline, you must keep a safe distance and drive slowly, and slow down or stop temporarily if you would hinder the pedestrian. Vehicles do not have priority on such roads, and honking repeatedly or passing closely at speed is dangerous.
