You are about to pass another vehicle on the right at an intersection. Along with checking the traffic ahead, what does the manual say to watch for on the right side of the road?
-
A.
Pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters and moped riders Correct
-
B.
Delivery trucks parked in loading zones
-
C.
Road workers directing traffic in the shoulder
-
D.
Vehicles making U-turns from the opposite direction
The answer is "Pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters and moped riders"
The manual names pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters and moped riders as the road users to watch for on the right when passing at an intersection. Drivers who scan only for cars overlook the smaller road users the manual lists by name, which is exactly the trap intersection passing sets.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Delivery trucks parked in loading zones
Parked commercial vehicles are the kind of obstruction that can block passing, not the intersection hazard the manual singles out. This answer confuses the obstruction rule that prevents passing with the vulnerable-user watch attached to the intersection itself.
C. Road workers directing traffic in the shoulder
Flag persons control traffic in work zones marked by orange signs, which is a different scenario from a routine intersection. This answer borrows a work-zone role and drops it into a general passing situation.
D. Vehicles making U-turns from the opposite direction
The manual raises the left-turn hazard from oncoming traffic, not U-turns, and situates the right-side watch on vulnerable road users. This answer swaps a rare oncoming maneuver for the everyday users the manual actually names.
