You are driving in lane 2 in a school zone. A child is standing at the right edge of the roadway ahead. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- School zone (speed limit 30 km/h)
- A child is standing at the right edge of the roadway ahead
If you see a child at risk of a traffic accident, such as playing or standing on the road, you must make a temporary stop (Article 49(1)2(a) of the Road Traffic Act). Think about whether the child not crossing the road removes this duty, and how you should pass after stopping.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
When you see a risk of a traffic accident involving a child, such as a child standing, sitting or playing on the road, you must stop temporarily (Road Traffic Act Article 49(1)2(a)). This applies even if the child is only standing and not crossing, and in a school zone you must pay even more attention to children's safety (Article 12(3)). After stopping, pass slowly and well clear because the child may move suddenly; chasing the child off with the horn or swerving into the next lane at speed is dangerous.
