When turning right, why should you check for pedestrians and bicyclists even if your light is green?
- A.Because green lights do not apply to right turns
- B.Because pedestrians may be crossing the street you are turning into and bicyclists may be approaching on your right, and you must yield to them
- C.Because pedestrians always walk against signals
- D.To see if anyone is watching your turn technique
Correct answer
B. Because pedestrians may be crossing the street you are turning into and bicyclists may be approaching on your right, and you must yield to them
Why
A green light does not remove your duty to yield to people lawfully in the crosswalk or riding on your right. A right-side check before and during the turn prevents right-hook crashes.
