You are approaching a crosswalk with no traffic lights in lane 2 of a road with three lanes each way. Truck A in lane 3 has stopped before the crosswalk, so you cannot see well in front of it. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is approaching the crosswalk in lane 2
- Crosswalk with no traffic lights
- Truck A in lane 3 has stopped before the crosswalk
When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross on a crosswalk, you must make a temporary stop in front of it (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). If a vehicle in the next lane has stopped before a crosswalk without traffic lights, think about why; a pedestrian may be hidden by the large vehicle.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
When a vehicle in the next lane has stopped before a crosswalk with no traffic lights, it is often because a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross, and that pedestrian may be hidden by the large vehicle. When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross you must make a temporary stop before the crosswalk (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)), so slow down, stop and check (Article 48(1)). Driving straight through or cutting in front of truck A carries a high risk of hitting a pedestrian.
