You are stopped at the stop line in lane 1 on a red light. A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk just in front of bus A, which is stopped in lane 2 beside you. Your light is about to turn green. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is waiting at the stop line in lane 1 to go straight
- Red light (about to turn green)
- Bus A is stopped in lane 2 beside you
- A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk just in front of the bus
If a pedestrian is crossing at a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop before the crosswalk regardless of the traffic light (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Check in the picture which part of your view the bus (A) in the next lane blocks, and think about how to handle the moment the light changes.
Answer: ①, ②
Explanation
While a pedestrian is on the crosswalk you must make a temporary stop before it (at the stop line) and not obstruct the crossing (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)). A large vehicle such as a bus in the next lane hides pedestrians in front of it, so check the crosswalk carefully before moving off (Article 48(1)). Moving off the instant the light changes, creeping onto the crosswalk early, or honking at pedestrians puts them in danger.
