At an unmarked crosswalk, drivers are required to:

• A. Yield to pedestrians
• B. Proceed through crosswalk without slowing
• C. Stop only if a pedestrian is present
• D. Ignore pedestrians

Answer: (A)

At an unmarked crosswalk, drivers must yield to pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, whether or not the crosswalk is marked with lines. When you approach, slow down and be prepared to stop; you should stop if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk or clearly about to cross, and only proceed once they have crossed safely. This keeps pedestrians safe and reflects the shared responsibility of all road users. Proceeding without slowing, or ignoring pedestrians, puts people at risk and isn’t acceptable.
