Which of the following should you do when giving the right of way to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk?

Stop and proceed when the pedestrian steps off the curb
Sound your horn to let the pedestrian know you are there
Make a right turn when it is safe to do so
Yield until the pedestrian has completely crossed the street

The correct answer is: Yield until the pedestrian has completely crossed the street

When giving the right of way to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk, you should yield until the pedestrian has completely crossed the street. This means that you should not proceed until the pedestrian has safely reached the other side of the street. Option A is incorrect because you should not proceed until the pedestrian has completely crossed the street, not just stepped off the curb. Option B is incorrect because honking at a pedestrian can startle them and cause them to react unpredictably. Option C is incorrect because regardless of whether or not it is safe to do so, you should always yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
