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 Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at any intersection, including uncontrolled ones without signs or signals. Yielding to the pedestrian is correct because pedestrians always have the legal right-of-way in these scenarios, and drivers must ensure their safety. Continuing, honking, or merely slowing down are incorrect and hazardous, as they fail to grant the pedestrian the safe passage required by law. Honking unnecessarily can also startle the pedestrian. For the G1 exam, remember that protecting vulnerable road users is a paramount rule, and yielding to pedestrians at intersections is a frequently tested concept.
