Road Signs
A pedestrian is starting to cross at a marked pedestrian crossover (PXO). You are approaching the crossover. What must you do?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Stop and yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian until they are safely on the sidewalk
A PXO gives absolute right-of-way to any pedestrian in or entering the crossover. The driver must come to a complete stop and wait until the pedestrian is fully on the sidewalk. This rule protects children, seniors and people with mobility aids who cannot rush across.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Continue at your current speed if you reach the crossover firstReaching the crossover first does not override pedestrian right-of-way; all vehicles must stop when a pedestrian is crossing.
- C.Slow down only and keep moving if there is roomSlowing is not enough — Ontario law requires a full stop until the pedestrian reaches the sidewalk.
- D.Wait only until the pedestrian begins walking, then proceedProceeding after the pedestrian merely starts to walk is a Highway Traffic Act violation carrying heavy fines and demerit points.
