At intersections without crosswalks, which statement is true about pedestrians?

• A. Pedestrians must yield only when cars are turning
• B. Pedestrians have no rights at all
• C. Pedestrians always have the right of way
• D. Pedestrians should always wait for a crosswalk

Answer: (C)

Pedestrians always have the right of way at intersections, even if there is no crosswalk. This means drivers must slow down and yield to people who are crossing or about to cross the street within the intersection. The idea is that crossing at an intersection should be a safe, shared space, and vehicles must not push through just because there isn’t a marked crosswalk. So the other statements don’t fit because rights aren’t limited to marked crosswalks or to turning situations, and pedestrians aren’t required to wait for a crosswalk when crossing at an intersection.
