You see a pedestrian with a white cane at the corner ready to cross the street. The person takes a step back and pulls his/her cane. You should:
|
Stop your vehicle a minimum of six feet from the crosswalk and wait for the person to cross the street.
|
|
|
Honk your horn to let the person know when to crosswalk and wait for the person to cross the street.
|
|
|
Proceed across the street because the person is not ready to cross.
|
Explanation
When a pedestrian with a white cane is ready to cross the street, they will usually take a step forward and extend their cane. If they take a step back and pull their cane, this usually means that they are not ready to cross and it is safe for you to proceed. Always be aware of your surroundings and be extra cautious when approaching a blind pedestrian, as they may not be able to detect your presence. Always yield the right-of-way and proceed with caution.
