Which situation requires the driver to be especially alert for pedestrians?

Entering a parking lot
On a freeway
On rural roads
Driving on the highway

The correct answer is: Entering a parking lot

Entering a parking lot is a situation that requires drivers to be especially alert for pedestrians because these areas are typically crowded and often have a mix of vehicle and foot traffic. Parking lots serve as active spaces where people may be walking to and from their vehicles, crossing lanes, or navigating through parked cars. The unpredictable movement of pedestrians, particularly children and those who may not be paying attention, elevates the risk of unexpected encounters. Additionally, drivers should be cautious of pedestrians who might suddenly appear, especially near entrances and exits, where visibility may be limited by vehicles or structures. Being vigilant in these scenarios enhances safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
