Question: An intersection has no signs or signals AND a pedestrian is crossing. You should:

Answer options:

• Continue — you have priority ✅ Yield to the pedestrian
• Honk
• Slow down only

Correct answer: Yield to the pedestrian

Explanation: Under British Columbia's Motor Vehicle Act, pedestrians have the right-of-way at all intersections, whether marked or unmarked. You must yield to a pedestrian crossing an intersection without signs or signals because an unmarked crosswalk legally exists at virtually every intersection. Continuing through or merely slowing down violates this right-of-way and creates a severe safety hazard, while honking is inappropriate and aggressive. This question highlights a fundamental ICBC rule requiring drivers to always watch for and yield to pedestrians. Expect several questions on your Class 7 knowledge test emphasizing pedestrian safety, as protecting vulnerable road users is a high exam priority.
