A bicyclist is riding in the lane ahead and a pedestrian is in the crosswalk at the next corner. As a driver, you must:
- A.Expect the bicyclist to move onto the sidewalk
- B.Drive between them if there is room
- C.Honk so both clear your path
- D.Yield to both — pedestrians in crosswalks and bicyclists lawfully on the road have rights you must respect
Correct answer
D. Yield to both — pedestrians in crosswalks and bicyclists lawfully on the road have rights you must respect
Why
Bicyclists are legal road users and pedestrians in crosswalks have the right-of-way. Drivers must yield and pass vulnerable users only with safe space.
