Under Colorado law, when must a driver yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian at an intersection?
The answer
Answer: D. Drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the roadway at all intersections, regardless of whether crosswalks are marked with painted lines. Every street corner has an unmarked legal crosswalk where pedestrians possess statutory right-of-way over motor vehicles. Always slow down and remain prepared to yield whenever approaching any intersection where pedestrians are waiting to cross.

What should you do if another vehicle ahead of you has stopped at a marked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross?
The answer
Answer: C. When another vehicle has stopped at a marked or unmarked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross, you must stop behind it and never attempt to pass. Passing a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian is strictly illegal and causes severe collisions because the passing driver cannot see the crossing pedestrian. Remain stopped until the pedestrian has safely reached the opposite curb or sidewalk.
