Question 7348

A driver has to cross the sidewalk to enter a gas station. Does the driver have the right-of-way over pedestrians walking on that sidewalk?

  1. Yes, the driver has the right-of-way over pedestrians.
  2. Yes, except if the pedestrians are walking as a group.
  3. No, pedestrians have the right-of-way over the driver.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, pedestrians have the right-of-way over the driver.

No. When you cross a sidewalk to enter a gas station, pedestrians on it have the right-of-way, whether alone or in a group. In the picture, the blue passenger car leaving the gas station must wait for the woman and the boy to pass.
