Which statement is true?

• A. When exiting a parking lot located along a sidewalk, you must stop before crossing the sidewalk even is there is no pedestrian.
• B. The rider of a large and regular size motorcycle has to wear a crash helmet whereas the rider of mopeds does not.
• C. Whenever you make a left or right turn, you must slow down.
• D. When proceeding through an intersection without a traffic light, and the cross road is wider than the one you are driving on, you must slow down regardless of visibility.

Answer: (D)

At an intersection without traffic lights, priority is determined by which road is wider. The cross street that is wider is treated as the main road, so vehicles on the narrower road must slow down and yield to traffic on that cross street. This rule is why you must reduce speed in this situation, and it applies even if you can see other drivers clearly—you’re still expected to yield to the traffic on the busier, wider road. The other statements don’t align with how these uncontrolled intersections are handled, such as helmet requirements applying to all riders on motorized bicycles, the idea that you must slow down at every turn, or a blanket stop-before-crossing rule when exiting a parking lot.
