Practice question

When the traffic is congested, you should proceed forward even if you would have to stop directly over a pedestrian crossing or bicycle crossing.

  1. True
  2. Not determinable
  3. False
  4. Not applicable

Answer: C — False

Never stop directly over a pedestrian crossing or bicycle crossing. Pedestrians and cyclists have the right of way on these crossings, and a vehicle blocking them is unsafe and typically illegal. If traffic is congested and you would have to stop on top of the crossing, you should stop before the crossing and wait for space to clear, or only move forward if you can completely clear the crossing without blocking it. This is why the statement is false.
