At what locations do pedestrians have the right of way over motor vehicles?

In parking lots
At crosswalks and intersections, controlled and uncontrolled
On rural roads
In school zones only

The correct answer is: At crosswalks and intersections, controlled and uncontrolled

Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks and intersections, whether they are controlled (with traffic signals or signs) or uncontrolled (where there are no signals or signs). This is because these locations are specifically designed for pedestrians to cross safely, and the law prioritizes their safety to prevent accidents. Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in these areas, ensuring that individuals can navigate roadways without undue risk. In parking lots, rural roads, and school zones, the rules may differ as they can vary widely in terms of pedestrian use, visibility, and traffic control measures. While pedestrians may have rights in those areas, the explicit right of way primarily exists at crosswalks and intersections, making them the most significant for pedestrian safety.
