Question

class e general knowledge question #26 / 50
you are driving your vehicle on a municipal street and are approaching a school crosswalk.
select a letter to choose your answer.
a you must stop without entering the crosswalk if a school crossing guard or any other person is in the roadway.
b you do not have to stop at the crosswalk unless the yellow lights on the crossing signal are flashing.
c you must stop for pedestrians that want to cross, but you do not have to stop for bicyclists or skaters.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on traffic laws regarding school crosswalks:

• Option A: It is a legal requirement to stop without entering the crosswalk if there are people (including crossing guards) in the roadway at a school crosswalk, as this ensures pedestrian safety.
• Option B: School crosswalks typically require stopping for pedestrians regardless of flashing lights (flashing lights are an additional warning, but the basic rule is to yield to pedestrians), so this is incorrect.
• Option C: Bicyclists and skaters are also considered vulnerable road users, and drivers must yield to them in crosswalks too, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. You must stop without entering the crosswalk if a school crossing guard or any other person is in the roadway.
