Question 3989

At crosswalks not regulated by a traffic light, when do pedestrians have the right-of-way?

  1. Always.
  2. Only when the crosswalk is located on a road section through a built-up area.
  3. Only when the pedestrians have already started crossing.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Always.

Always. At a marked crosswalk not controlled by a traffic light or an officer, pedestrians have the right-of-way, both inside and outside built-up areas. They do not need to have started crossing. If they show that they intend to cross, for example by waiting at the curb, you must stop and let them cross.
