Question 7347
When crossing a shoulder where pedestrians are walking in an area where there is no pedestrian zone, what must you do?
- Continue driving, since you have the right-of-way.
- Yield to pedestrians, since they have the right-of-way.
- Alert pedestrians to your presence with audible signals.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yield to pedestrians, since they have the right-of-way.
If you cross a shoulder where pedestrians are walking because there is no pedestrian zone, they have the right-of-way and you must yield. In the picture, the red car is about to turn onto the dirt road and will cross the shoulder where two people are walking. Honking to make them move aside does not give you the right to go first.
