Practice question

Motorists are required to yield to pedestrians when they walk against the traffic light.

  1. True
  2. False
  3. Only at intersections
  4. Only if the pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk

Answer: B — False

The statement that motorists are required to yield to pedestrians when they walk against the traffic light is not accurate. In general, pedestrians must obey traffic signals, and when a pedestrian crosses against a traffic light, drivers do not have a legal obligation to yield to them. Yielding only applies when pedestrians are legally allowed to be in the crosswalk or are following pedestrian signals. It's crucial for both motorists and pedestrians to understand and follow traffic rules and signals. Pedestrians crossing with the light have the right of way, while those crossing against it do not. Therefore, the premise that motorists must yield in the situation described is incorrect, making the answer accurate.
