You are waiting to turn at a red traffic light. There is a pedestrian on the right side of your vehicle waiting to cross the street you want to enter. Who has the right-of-way when the light turns green?

You have the right-of-way only if the crosswalk is not marked.
You have the right-of-way because your light is green.
The pedestrian has the right-of-way.
None of the above.
Explanation

When the traffic light turns green, pedestrians have the right-of-way. You must give the right-of-way to any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian in the intersection. This means that if a pedestrian is standing on the right side of your vehicle, waiting to cross the street, you must yield to them and allow them to cross the street before you turn.
