Question 7307

Traffic is congested and you expect to end up stopped on the crosswalk; should you enter the crosswalk?

  1. Yes.
  2. Only if no pedestrian intends to cross at the crosswalk.
  3. No, because it blocks the way for pedestrians.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it blocks the way for pedestrians.

No. The rule against entering somewhere you will end up stopped also applies to crosswalks. If traffic is stopped and you expect to end up on the crosswalk, wait before it and leave it clear. It does not matter if no one is waiting now, because a pedestrian could arrive while you are still on it.
