You are driving up to an intersection where there is no signal light or police officer, a pedestrian is in the crosswalk on your side of the street. You should:

  1. Increase speed and take the right-of-way

  2. Slow down and drive with increased caution

  3. Sound horn to warn the pedestrian

  4. Stop and yield right-of-way to the pedestrian

The correct answer is: Stop and yield right-of-way to the pedestrian

When approaching an intersection where there is no signal light or police officer, it is important to be cautious and prepare to stop if there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk. Option A is incorrect because you should never increase speed when there is a pedestrian present. Option C is also incorrect because honking your horn can startle the pedestrian and potentially cause them to make a dangerous move. Option B is a better choice, but it does not explicitly state to stop and yield the right-of-way, which is the safest and most responsible option.
