What should you do when a pedestrian with a guide dog is about to cross at a crosswalk?

• A. Honk to warn them
• B. Accelerate to cross before them
• C. Yield and allow them to cross
• D. Wave them across

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that pedestrians who use guide dogs have the right of way at crosswalks. When such a pedestrian is about to cross, you should slow down and stop to allow them to finish crossing safely. Honking, speeding up to beat them, or waving them across can distract the handler and the dog and isn’t necessary for safety. By yielding, you give them the space and time they need, which helps prevent accidents. If you’re turning at the intersection, wait until the person and dog have cleared the crosswalk before making your move. Remember, the guide dog is working, so avoid distracting it or engaging with the dog while it’s guiding.
