📖 Topic overview
This chapter covers the safety rules that apply to people on foot, and the corresponding duties drivers have toward them. It explains where and how pedestrians should cross, and why drivers need to stay alert for people crossing streets, especially near intersections, schools, and bus stops.
The most tested material is right-of-way at crossings: a pedestrian crossing at a marked crosswalk within an intersection has the right-of-way, but one who crosses mid-block or outside a crosswalk must yield to vehicles. You should also know how drivers are expected to respond to a pedestrian carrying a white cane or using an assistance animal — a signal that the person may be blind or have another disability.
A common mistake is assuming pedestrians always have the right-of-way everywhere — the rules actually depend on where the crossing happens. Another is failing to slow down or prepare to stop the moment you notice someone attempting to cross, rather than expecting the pedestrian to react to you.
Does a pedestrian always have the right-of-way over vehicles?
Not always — a pedestrian using a marked crosswalk at an intersection has the right-of-way, but one who crosses between intersections or outside a crosswalk must yield to vehicles.
What should I do as a driver if I see someone carrying a white cane?
Take extra precaution — a white cane signals the person may be blind or partially blind, and you're expected to do what's necessary, including coming to a full stop, to avoid endangering them.
Where should a pedestrian wait before crossing?
On the curb, not out in the street, until it's safe or the signal indicates it's their turn to cross.
