When you see a pedestrian with a guide dog or white cane at an intersection, you should:

  1. Honk your horn to alert them

  2. Proceed because you have the right-of-way

  3. Stop and give the right-of-way

  4. Flash your headlights

The correct answer is: Stop and give the right-of-way

Stopping and giving the right-of-way to a pedestrian with a guide dog or white cane is the correct choice because it prioritizes the safety and needs of individuals who may have visual impairments. The presence of a guide dog or white cane indicates that the pedestrian requires assistance to navigate their surroundings. It is not only a matter of courtesy but also a legal requirement under many traffic laws that ensure the protection of vulnerable road users. By stopping, you provide them with the opportunity to cross the intersection safely, demonstrating a commitment to pedestrian safety and accessibility. This action aligns with the duty of drivers to be vigilant and considerate of all road users, particularly those with disabilities.
