What rules do pedestrians have to obey? Not many people know!

The correct answer

In general, at a T-intersection where multiple road users are appearing, the right of way is typically granted to the user on the through road, which is the one without the need to make a turn. But one thing a lot of people seem to forget is that pedestrians are also considered as road users. This is because the sidewalk is also a part of the road.

  • The pedestrians are the ones who want to move straight on the road here and since there is no car coming on the road that they want to cross they have the right of way.
  • The green car wants to turn right so he has to wait for traffic that wants to go straight trough. This includes the pedestrians so the green car must wait for the pedestrians to cross before he can make the turn to the right.
