Practice question

What should you do when approaching a crosswalk?

  1. Speed up
  2. Increase your following distance
  3. Stop and allow pedestrians to pass
  4. None of the above

Answer: C — Stop and allow pedestrians to pass

When approaching a crosswalk, you should always slow down and come to a complete stop to allow pedestrians to pass. Speeding up or increasing your following distance can put pedestrians at risk and is not safe or legal. Choosing "None of the above" is incorrect because it is always important to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
