When driving on a city street, what should you be cautious of?

Only pedestrians
Only cyclists
Both pedestrians and cyclists
Only other vehicles

The correct answer is: Both pedestrians and cyclists

In urban environments, drivers must remain vigilant for a variety of potential hazards, including both pedestrians and cyclists. City streets often have a high volume of foot and bicycle traffic due to nearby residences, businesses, schools, and parks. Pedestrians can unexpectedly enter crosswalks or cross streets at unmarked locations, and cyclists may share the roadway with vehicles or use designated bike lanes. Both groups are vulnerable road users, meaning that their safety heavily depends on the attention and consideration of drivers. By being cautious of both pedestrians and cyclists, drivers can help prevent accidents and ensure a safer environment for everyone sharing the road. Neglecting to account for one group while focusing solely on another could lead to dangerous situations, so awareness of all potential hazards is essential for safe driving in city settings.
