Question 3666

When crossing a shoulder used by pedestrians in an area with no pedestrian area, what must you do?

  1. Yield to pedestrians, as they have the right-of-way.
  2. Warn pedestrians of your presence with audible signals.
  3. Continue driving, since you have the right-of-way.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yield to pedestrians, as they have the right-of-way.

Pedestrians using that shoulder because there is no pedestrian area have the right-of-way over a vehicle crossing it. The driver must yield to them.
