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 the Québec Highway Safety Code, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing or preparing to cross at any intersection, even if there are no signs or signals present. Continuing through the intersection or simply slowing down violates this safety rule and endangers a vulnerable road user. Honking is also incorrect, as horns must only be used to warn of danger, not to assert dominance or rush pedestrians. On the SAAQ knowledge and practical driving tests, yielding to pedestrians is a fundamental safety rule, and failing to do so constitutes an immediate critical error.
