|
|
Have the right-of-way. Yield to a pedestrian ready to cross the street.
|
Explanation
Pedestrians have the right-of-way in both marked and unmarked crosswalks. When a pedestrian is crossing or ready to cross the street, you must use caution, slow down, or stop to allow them to cross safely. If a pedestrian makes eye contact with you, it indicates their intent to cross, and you are required to yield to them. However, pedestrians should also remain cautious and aware of traffic conditions before entering the roadway.
