Yielding to pedestrians — Texas Permit Test

A driver must give the right-of-way to a pedestrian at an uncontrolled intersection, where there are no signs or signals for the pedestrian.

With nothing posted, a person on foot has no signal to obey and no protection. The rule puts the duty on the driver.

must give the right-of-way to pedestrians: 1. At an uncontrolled intersection (there are not any traffic signs or signals for the pedestrian to enter the crosswalk)

A driver must give the right-of-way to a pedestrian who has a WALK signal.

The signal told them to go. A turning driver arriving on a green is the one who has to wait.

Where there is no pedestrian control signal, a driver gives a pedestrian the right-of-way on a green light.

Not every crossing has its own signal. The green light covers the pedestrian as well as the traffic.

If the pedestrian has a WALK signal or a. If there is not a pedestrian control signal, give the pedestrian the right-of-way on a green light

If the light changes after a pedestrian has entered the crosswalk, a driver still gives them the right-of-way.

Somebody halfway across cannot go back or hurry. The signal changing does not move them out of the road.

If the pedestrian has a WALK signal or a. If there is not a pedestrian control signal, give the pedestrian the right-of-way on a green light. b.

An in-street pedestrian crossing sign is placed in the road at the crosswalk, on the center line, a lane line, or a median island, and never on the left or right side of the road.

A sign at the roadside gets lost in the scenery. Putting it in the lane is what makes a driver see it.

A pedestrian hybrid beacon is installed only at a marked crosswalk.

The beacon exists to stop traffic for people crossing at that spot. Without the markings there is no spot.

Pedestrian hybrid beacons are only installed at a marked crosswalk

When a pedestrian hybrid beacon shows alternating flashing red, a driver stops and then goes if the crossing is clear.

It works like a stop sign that only appears when somebody needs it. Flashing red never means drive on through.

Alternating Flashing Red Stop. Then go if clear

In-roadway lights are set in the road surface to warn drivers of something ahead they may not see, and are typically used at midblock crossings and school crosswalks.

A person stepping out mid-block is where a driver is least expecting one. Lights in the road put the warning where the eyes already are.

used as an alternative to traffic lights where pedestrian safety is a concern, and are typically placed at midblock crossings, school crosswalks, marked crosswalks on uncontrolled approaches, or in advance of roundabouts
