What should you do if you encounter a blind pedestrian at a stop sign?

Wave to get their attention
Ask if they need help crossing
Do not distract them with your horn
Continue without stopping

The correct answer is: Do not distract them with your horn

When encountering a blind pedestrian at a stop sign, it's crucial to ensure their safety first and foremost. Not distracting them with your horn is vital because sudden sounds can startle or confuse a blind person, making it difficult for them to orient themselves. A quiet and patient approach allows the pedestrian to use their other senses, particularly hearing, to gauge their surroundings. In this scenario, the other options may seem helpful at first glance but could potentially lead to unsafe situations. Trying to wave to get their attention could also be confusing as they may be unaware of your motion. Asking if they need help crossing may not always be necessary or welcomed, as the pedestrian may already have a plan or preference for when to cross. Continuing without stopping is not safe and disregards the pedestrian's right of way. By prioritizing a calm and distraction-free environment, you help ensure the safety of both yourself and the pedestrian.
