What are the standards for vehicles yielding to pedestrians?
1 Answers
When motor vehicles approach a crosswalk, they should slow down; if pedestrians are crossing, the vehicle must stop and yield. Below is relevant information about road traffic regulations: 1. Regulations: Article 46 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" states that the maximum speed for motor vehicles driving on icy or muddy roads should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. 2. Dangers of speeding: When speeding, drivers cannot fully and accurately perceive changes inside and outside the vehicle. For example, a car traveling at 50 kilometers per hour moves 1.39 meters in 0.1 seconds, and objects outside the window pass by in a flash. It takes about 0.4 seconds for a person to sense a target within their field of vision and an average of 1 second to clearly see an object. If the speed is too high, it becomes difficult to obtain sufficient road information, increasing the risk of traffic accidents.
