When you see an elderly person crossing an intersection, you should...

• A. Stop
• B. Yield
• C. Honk
• D. Accelerate

Answer: (B)

The key idea is to give pedestrians the right of way, especially someone who is older and crossing. When you see an elderly person in a crosswalk, you should yield by slowing down and stopping if needed so they can finish crossing safely. This protects vulnerable pedestrians and follows the rule to let pedestrians cross first. Honking doesn’t help and can startle them, while accelerating into the crosswalk is dangerous. Stopping completely is appropriate if they’re still in the path, but the essential action is to yield—ease off, slow down, and stop if necessary to ensure their safety.
