You are stopped before a crosswalk with traffic lights in a silver zone. The light has turned green for vehicles, but an elderly person has not yet finished crossing. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is at the stop line in lane 1, about to go straight
- Silver zone
- Green light for vehicles
- An elderly person is still on the crosswalk
If a pedestrian is crossing at a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop before it regardless of your traffic light (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). In a silver zone you must take special care for elderly persons (Article 12-2(3)), so look at who is still on the crosswalk at the moment the light changes.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When a pedestrian is on a crosswalk, you must stop temporarily before it (at the stop line) regardless of the signal and not obstruct or endanger them (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)). In a silver zone you must take particular care of elderly people's safety (Article 12-2(3)), so wait until the slow-walking person has finished crossing and check that nobody remains before moving off. Steering around the person or hurrying them with the horn because your light is green is wrong.
