When you approach an uncontrolled intersection and a pedestrian has entered the intersection, you must:

• A. Stop and yield to the pedestrian before proceeding.
• B. Speed up to pass the pedestrian.
• C. Honk and continue.
• D. Turn around and avoid the intersection.

Answer: (A)

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, pedestrians in or entering the intersection have the right of way. If a pedestrian is already in the intersection, you must stop and yield to them before proceeding. This keeps vulnerable road users safe and follows the rule to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and intersections. The other choices are unsafe or inappropriate: speeding up to pass can strike the pedestrian; honking and continuing doesn’t grant you priority and may scare or confuse them; turning around to avoid the intersection creates a dangerous maneuver and isn’t the proper response.
