Crossing rule for OHV at highways?

• A. Begin crossing when safe and direct routes exist
• B. Cross immediately without checking traffic
• C. Cross only at crosswalks
• D. Cross after signaling for 2 minutes

Answer: (A)

Crossing a highway with an OHV should only happen when there is a safe and direct route to the far side. That means you stop, look both ways, listen for approaching traffic, and choose a moment when there’s a clear gap large enough for you to cross quickly and straight across. You should proceed only if you can reach the opposite curb without linger or weaving, and you must yield to vehicles that might be in your path.

This approach keeps you visible and minimizes the time you spend in the roadway. The other options fail because they ignore the fundamental requirement to assess safety first, treat crosswalks as the only legal crossing point on highways, or prescribe an arbitrary signaling duration that doesn’t ensure safety.
