What should you do when approaching a pedestrian at a crosswalk without signals?

• A. Honk to hurry them along.
• B. Proceed if there is no traffic.
• C. Yield and allow them to cross safely before proceeding.
• D. Stop only if the pedestrian is crossing.

Answer: (C)

When you approach a pedestrian at a crosswalk without signals, the main rule is to yield to the pedestrian and let them cross safely before you proceed. Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way, even without traffic lights, so you should slow down and stop if needed to allow them to cross. Only after they have finished crossing should you proceed.

Keeping this in mind helps prevent accidents and aligns with road rules. Avoid honking or pressing ahead if there’s any chance a pedestrian is about to enter or is already in the crosswalk, as that can surprise and endanger them.
