Question: In Quebec, a pedestrian crossing with a white cane or guide dog:

Answer options:

• Should be passed quickly ✅ Has full right-of-way — drivers must stop
• Can be honked at
• Is not protected

Correct answer: Has full right-of-way — drivers must stop

Explanation: Under the Quebec Highway Safety Code, visually impaired pedestrians carrying a white cane or accompanied by a guide dog always have absolute priority. Drivers must come to a complete stop to let them cross safely. Honking at them or speeding past is highly dangerous and illegal, as sudden noises can disorient the pedestrian or startle their guide dog, while assuming they are unprotected violates fundamental traffic safety laws. SAAQ exams routinely test your knowledge of vulnerable road users to ensure you understand that shielding impaired pedestrians is a strict legal requirement, making a complete stop the only correct driving behavior.
