You stop at a red light and a pedestrian starts crossing with the walk signal. The light turns green while they are still in the crosswalk. What must you do?

• A.Proceed slowly around them
• B.Wait — the pedestrian still has the right-of-way until safely across
• C.Honk to hurry them
• D.Turn right through the crosswalk

Why

A green light does not cancel a pedestrian's right-of-way. Remain stopped until the crosswalk is clear, even if other drivers behind you are impatient.
