After school, you are about to go straight through an intersection without traffic lights in a school zone. On the crosswalk before the intersection, two children are crossing on the opposite-lane side, and another child is coming toward the crosswalk along the sidewalk on your right. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is about to go straight through the intersection
- School zone (speed limit 30 km/h)
- Intersection without traffic lights; two children crossing the opposite-lane side of the crosswalk ahead
- Another child coming toward the crosswalk on the right sidewalk
At a crosswalk without a traffic light inside a school zone you must make a temporary stop even if no one is there, and you must stop so as not to obstruct anyone crossing (Article 27(1) and (7) of the Road Traffic Act). Look in the picture not only at the crosswalk but also for a child approaching along the sidewalk.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
Before a crosswalk without traffic lights in a school zone you must stop temporarily even if nobody is there (Road Traffic Act Article 27(7)), and when pedestrians are crossing or about to cross you must stop at the stop line so as not to obstruct them (Article 27(1)). Wait until the children have finished crossing even if they are on the opposite-lane side, and since children in groups often follow each other, check the child on the sidewalk too before moving off (Article 12(3)). Rushing past or using the horn to stop the child is wrong.
