On a road with no crosswalk, a pedestrian ahead is crossing the road. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
Even where there is no crosswalk, a vehicle does not gain priority over a pedestrian who is already crossing (Article 27(5) of the Road Traffic Act). Recall what distance the driver must keep from the pedestrian and what action the driver must take.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Under Article 27(5) of the Road Traffic Act, when a pedestrian is crossing a road without a crosswalk, the driver must stop at a safe distance so the pedestrian can cross safely. The absence of a crosswalk does not give the vehicle priority. Swerving behind the pedestrian or honking can startle the person into stopping or turning back, which is dangerous.
