At a T-intersection with no traffic lights, you are on the main road and want to turn left into the side road. A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk at the entrance of the side road, and car A is following you. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is on the main road, about to turn left into the side road
- A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk at the side-road entrance (on the half away from the lane you will enter)
- Car A is following behind you
💡 Hint
When a pedestrian is using a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop in front of it even if the pedestrian is not on your side of the road (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). A vehicle behind you is no exception; think about when to turn on your turn signal so the following driver can prepare (Article 38(1)).
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When a pedestrian is using a crosswalk you must stop temporarily before it, whichever half they are on (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)). Signal early when turning left so the car behind can prepare to slow down (Article 38(1)), and turn slowly using the inside of the centre of the intersection (Article 25(2)). Hurrying past the pedestrian because of the car behind is wrong.
