Question 7951

Excessively complex traffic situations encourage driver distraction because the driver cannot take in or process all the relevant information; an example of this is...

  1. when a pedestrian crosses at a crosswalk while the traffic light is red.
  2. when driving on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) while using a navigation device or GPS.
  3. when there is a large concentration of traffic signs, vehicles, and pedestrians.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: when there is a large concentration of traffic signs, vehicles, and pedestrians.

When many signs, vehicles, and pedestrians come together, as in the image with traffic lights, a bus, a cyclist, and many pedestrians, you receive more information than you can process and may miss something important.
