Question

who has the right-of-way at an intersection with no crosswalks?

vehicles, but they should slow down and be careful

pedestrians, but only with the green walk signal

pedestrians always have the right-of-way

Explanation:

Analyze the rules for unmarked crosswalks

At any intersection where streets meet at approximately right angles, there exists an "unmarked crosswalk" even if no painted lines are on the pavement. Under standard traffic laws, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the street within any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1 ("Vehicles, but they should slow down and be careful") is incorrect because pedestrians have the legal right-of-way at intersections, even without painted crosswalks.
• Option 2 ("Pedestrians, but only with the green walk signal") is too restrictive because many intersections do not have pedestrian signals at all, yet pedestrians still retain the right-of-way in the unmarked crosswalks.
• Option 3 ("Pedestrians always have the right-of-way") correctly identifies that pedestrians have the right-of-way at these intersections.

Answer:

• Vehicles, but they should slow down and be careful
• Pedestrians, but only with the green walk signal
• Pedestrians always have the right-of-way (Correct answer)
