Pedestrians: practice questions

Correct answer: Slow down and stop before the crossing to let them cross

At crossings without lights or an officer, slow down so you can stop in front of the crossing if pedestrians want to cross. Never endanger them.

Correct answer: Watch for them and stop if necessary until they have crossed

When turning at an intersection, pay attention to pedestrians there and stop if necessary until they have crossed. Don't obstruct pedestrians who have started crossing.

Correct answer: They are easily distracted, act on impulse and can't judge risk well

Children are easily distracted, often act automatically, may not know or follow the rules, and don't assess risk properly.

Correct answer: They may have limited movement and hearing or vision problems

Elderly people and people with special needs may be easily confused, move slowly, and have hearing or vision problems.

Correct answer: Try to make eye contact

Assess others by age and attention. If you are unsure about a situation, try to make eye contact.

Correct answer: Facing oncoming traffic, without obstructing it

Pedestrians should use the pavement; otherwise walk facing the traffic, as long as they don't obstruct it or endanger themselves.

Correct answer: Slow down, especially if the animals look nervous

Slow down when approaching or passing animals, especially when they show signs of anxiety. Herds near roads must be guarded.

Correct answer: True

True. The handbook uses this to stress how vulnerable pedestrians are: always watch for them.

Correct answer: They must not cross

Red means pedestrians may not cross. A steady green allows crossing while watching traffic; flashing green means clear the road quickly.

Correct answer: Reflective belts or vests

Guided groups of people and herds of animals on public roads should wear reflective belts or vests.
