Topic 3 · Rules of the Road: Traffic Laws in California
If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk as your light turns green, you must:
- Drive around the pedestrian
- Honk to make them hurry
- Wait for the pedestrian to finish crossing — correct answer
Why
A green light does not cancel a pedestrian's right of way. Let anyone already in the crosswalk finish crossing before you move.
