Practice question

If a driver encounters a pedestrian crossing an intersection in an unmarked crosswalk, who has the right of way?

  1. Driver has the right of way
  2. Pedestrian has the right of way
  3. Both share the right of way
  4. Intersection has the right of way

Answer: B — Pedestrian has the right of way

In this scenario, the correct answer is that the pedestrian has the right of way. When a pedestrian is crossing in an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, they have the right of way, which means that drivers must yield to the pedestrian and allow them to safely cross the street. Pedestrian safety is crucial, so it is important for drivers to always be aware of their presence and yield to them when necessary. It is a fundamental rule of the road to prioritize pedestrian safety and give them the right of way in situations like these.
