Pedestrians and the driver — North Carolina Permit Test

At intersections without traffic signals, pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks and in unmarked crosswalks formed by imaginary lines extending from the sidewalks across the street.

Every corner has a crosswalk whether or not it is painted. A pedestrian stepping off the curb there is in it.

At intersections without traffic signals, pedestrians have the right of way if they are in marked crosswalks or in unmarked crosswalks formed by imaginary lines extending from the sidewalks across the streets;

A pedestrian crossing with a green signal has the right of way over all vehicles, including those turning across the pedestrian’s path.

Your green light and the pedestrian’s walk signal come on together. The turn across their path is yours to wait for.

When crossing with a green signal, pedestrians have the right of way over all vehicles, including those turning across the paths of the pedestrians; and

If a traffic signal changes to yellow or red while a pedestrian is still in the street, drivers must allow the pedestrian to complete the crossing safely.

A light changing does not move a person out of the road. They finish crossing, and the car waits.

If a traffic signal changes to yellow or red while any pedestrian remains in the street, drivers must allow the pedestrian to complete the crossing safely.

At an intersection without signals, a blind pedestrian who extends a white cane, a white cane with a red tip, or has a guide dog gets special consideration under the law.

A blind pedestrian cannot see you coming. The cane or the dog is the signal that the driver has to do all the looking.

The law gives a blind pedestrian special consideration at an intersection where there are no traffic signals when the pedestrian extends a white cane, or a white cane with a red tip or has a guide dog.

Where “Walk” and “Don’t Walk” signals are operating, pedestrians must obey them rather than the regular traffic signals, and pedestrians crossing with them have the right of way as with a green light.

The pedestrian signal is timed for walking, not for driving. It is the one a person on foot follows.

When these signals are operating, pedestrians must obey them rather than regular traffic signals.

The law requires drivers to use the horn whenever a pedestrian may be affected by a turn, stop or start from a parked position; if the pedestrian does not stop, the driver must.

A horn is a warning, not a demand. If the person does not react to it, the car is the one that yields.

The law requires drivers to use the horn whenever a pedestrian may be affected by a turn, stop or start from a parked position. If the pedestrian does not stop, the driver must.

The safe driver yields the right of way to a pedestrian whether or not the pedestrian is entitled to it, because saving a life is always worth the lost right of way.

Being right is no comfort after hitting someone. The right of way is worth less than the person.

The safe driver yields right of way to a pedestrian whether the pedestrian is entitled to it or not.

If you are moving through an intersection with a green signal and a pedestrian starts to cross in your path against the red, give a warning with your horn.

The pedestrian may not have seen you. The horn tells them before the car does.

If you are moving through an intersection with a green signal and a pedestrian starts to cross in your path against the red signal, give a warning with your horn.

At an intersection with no traffic signals, where does a pedestrian have the right of way?

In marked crosswalks and in unmarked crosswalks at the corners. Every corner has a crosswalk whether or not it is painted. A pedestrian stepping off the curb there is in it.
