Question 4846
How must a pedestrian cross the roadway?
- Diagonally.
- Stopping frequently to check that no vehicles are approaching.
- Walking perpendicular to its centerline.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Walking perpendicular to its centerline.
When crossing the roadway, pedestrians must walk in a straight line, perpendicular to its centerline, without lingering or stopping unnecessarily. This is the shortest route and keeps them among vehicles for less time. Crossing diagonally would take longer, and stopping repeatedly to look would leave them on the roadway longer. Before stepping onto it, they must check that they can cross safely.
