Question 2149

Must you stop at this crosswalk if the traffic light is not working?

  1. No, because without the traffic light's instructions, vehicles have the right-of-way.
  2. No, since pedestrians do not have the right-of-way.
  3. Yes, because pedestrians have the right-of-way, as indicated by the pavement marking.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because pedestrians have the right-of-way, as indicated by the pavement marking.

Even if the traffic light is not working, the crosswalk marking gives pedestrians the right-of-way. The driver must stop to let them cross.
