The light changed and you braked hard, but your car stopped past the stop line on the crosswalk. Pedestrians have started crossing and car B is stopped close behind you. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) has stopped in lane 2 past the stop line, on the crosswalk
- Red light ahead; pedestrian signal green on the crosswalk ahead
- Pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk
- Car B is stopped close behind you
When pedestrians are crossing a crosswalk, you must not obstruct or endanger them (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Once you are already past the stop line, consider that trying to 'clear the crosswalk' can itself create reversing or signal-violation risks (Article 18(1), Annex 2 of the Enforcement Rule).
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
When pedestrians are using a crosswalk you must not obstruct or endanger them (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)), so if you have already stopped on the crosswalk, stay still and watch the pedestrians. Reversing with car B behind and pedestrians around your car is dangerous (Article 18(1)), and entering the intersection on red is a signal violation (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2). Next time, slow down early when approaching an intersection and stop before the stop line.
