When crossing a hard shoulder used by pedestrians, what must you do?
Right of way
Explanation
When crossing a **shoulder** where pedestrians are present, it is important to **yield to them** if there is no pedestrian area, such as a sidewalk. This is because pedestrians have **priority** in these situations, as they do not have another safe place to walk.
- Shoulders are the sides of the road where motor vehicles should not travel, and they are often used by pedestrians when sidewalks are not available.
- In these cases, drivers must be especially careful and allow pedestrians to cross safely.
- It is not appropriate to use acoustic signals to make pedestrians move aside, as this could endanger them.
- Furthermore, the obligation to yield does not only apply when pedestrians form a group; it applies whenever there is no pedestrian area available.
Therefore, whenever you find yourself in this situation, remember to give priority to pedestrians to ensure their safety.
