Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

In Florida, when is it necessary to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians?

1. On residential roads

2. At intersections with signals

3. At all intersections

4. At crosswalks only

The correct answer is: At all intersections

It is important to understand that pedestrians have the right-of-way in most situations and Florida law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians at all intersections, whether it has signals or not. Option A may seem like a correct answer since residential roads typically have lower speed limits, making it safer for pedestrians. However, drivers must still yield to pedestrians in these areas. Option B may also seem correct since signals typically have designated crosswalks for pedestrians, but this is not always the case and drivers still must yield in all situations. Option D is incorrect because while drivers must yield at crosswalks, they must also yield at any intersection, not just crosswalks.
