GENERAL Learning Environment Category A (A, A1, A2, AM)
Question 313 of 419

What obligation does the driver of a motorcycle have when changing the direction of travel to the right, at the green signal of the traffic light, while the pedestrians are in turn engaged in crossing?

A to signal the change of the direction of travel and to give priority to pedestrians engaged in crossing the street onto which he is about to enter;
B to signal the change of the direction of travel and to continue his movement with caution, the pedestrians being obliged to give way to him;
C to signal the change of the direction of travel and to keep a sufficient lateral distance from the curb on the right.

Explanation

The driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the public road, through a specially designated place, marked and signalled accordingly or at the green colour of the traffic light intended for him, when he is on the lane of travel of the vehicle.

Considering this obligation, when you intend to change the direction of travel to the right in an intersection, besides the obligation to signal in time the change of the direction of travel, although you entered the intersection at the green signal colour of the traffic light, if you intersect with pedestrians who are crossing the public road in compliance with the traffic rules, who are on your lane of travel, you have the obligation to give them priority, after which you can continue your movement.

The correct answer is: A
