Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

When stopped at an unmarked crosswalk, what should you do?

1. Proceed without yielding

2. Come to a complete stop

3. Slow down and look for pedestrians

4. Honk your horn

The correct answer is: Slow down and look for pedestrians

When stopped at an unmarked crosswalk, it is important to slow down and look for pedestrians. This is necessary because unmarked crosswalks do not have traffic signals or signs to indicate when it is safe for pedestrians to cross. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the driver to always be aware and cautious of pedestrian traffic, especially at unmarked crosswalks. Option A is incorrect because proceeding without yielding could result in a collision with a pedestrian. It is important to always prioritize the safety of pedestrians. Option B is incorrect because simply stopping may not be enough to prevent an accident. Yielding to pedestrians must also be taken into consideration. Option D is incorrect because honking your horn can startle pedestrians and may not give them enough time to safely cross the street. It is best to proceed with caution and not to honk your horn in this situation.
