Question 3850

To avoid the risk of hitting pedestrians, what must you do when leaving a garage if entering traffic requires crossing the sidewalk?

  1. Slow down in case pedestrians are crossing
  2. Speed up to get out of the way as quickly as possible.
  3. Always stop the vehicle and signal your presence by honking the horn.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Slow down in case pedestrians are crossing

When leaving the garage, you cross the sidewalk, where pedestrians have the right-of-way. Move slowly enough to stop immediately and let anyone using it go first, like the woman in the image. You do not always need to stop, and honking does not give you the right-of-way over pedestrians.
