Giving Way to Pedestrians
The essentials
This topic teaches how to recognize situations where a pedestrian has priority or where the driver must exercise special caution. Such situations may arise during turns, at crossings, near stops and in other road conditions.
What to remember
When assessing pedestrian priority, consider not only a marked crossing but also the carriageway you cross while turning, movement of people near stops and special situations. When turning right or left, the driver gives way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway into which the vehicle is turning. Even toward a pedestrian without priority, the driver remains obliged to avoid collision and danger.

Is it allowed to turn into the yard at this point?
- Allowed
- Prohibited
The correct answer: Allowed
Entering the courtyard is allowed. An ordinary car may not travel continuously in the route-vehicle lane, but it may cross that lane to enter adjacent property where the marking permits. The driver must yield to vehicles lawfully using the reserved lane and to pedestrians whose path is crossed.
Is the driver of the red car allowed to continue driving in this situation?
- Allowed
- Prohibited
The correct answer: Prohibited
The red car is prohibited from continuing as shown. The blue vehicle has slowed or stopped before the pedestrian crossing, and pedestrians are on it. The red driver must also slow down, yield to the pedestrians, and not pass the blue vehicle until the crossing is completely clear.
Are you obligated to give way to a passenger car if you intend to make a right turn at an intersection?
- Obligated
- Not obligated
The correct answer: Not obligated
The correct answer is you are not required to yield to the passenger car. The green signal permits your right turn, while the vehicle approaching from the cross direction must wait at its prohibiting signal. Before turning, still check the crossing, yield to pedestrians, and confirm that the other car has stopped.
