Question 4625
If there is no marked crosswalk, how must pedestrians cross the roadway?
- Stopping on the lane separation lines, even when it is not necessary.
- Walking perpendicular to the centerline of the roadway.
- Diagonally, so they can see and be seen better by drivers.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Walking perpendicular to the centerline of the roadway.
Where there is no crosswalk, pedestrians must first check that they can cross safely and without getting in the way of traffic. Then they must cross the roadway in a straight line, perpendicular to its centerline, without lingering or stopping unnecessarily, including on lane lines. Crossing diagonally would take longer and leave them among cars for more time.
