    Answer: The pedestrian is blind or visually impaired; yield and wait until they have safely crossed

    A white cane indicates a blind or visually impaired pedestrian; drivers must stop and yield until the person has completely cleared the roadway.

  4. What should a driver do when approaching a railroad crossing with flashing red lights and no train visible?
