Is a driver obliged to yield the right of way to a group of schoolchildren walking in a line on the roadway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. Although the general rule gives priority to vehicles over pedestrians on the roadway, Traffic Regulations establish clear exceptions. A driver must always yield to pedestrians at designated crosswalks, but also when encountering troops in formation, lines of schoolchildren, or organized groups. Therefore, the school group has the right of way, regardless of the number of children or whether there is a painted crosswalk.
