Can drivers pass cars at a pedestrian crosswalk if no pedestrian is in sight?

Yes, it is allowed.
No, they may not pass.
Only if the crosswalk is clear.
Only at night.

The correct answer is: No, they may not pass.

In many jurisdictions, including those observed in USAREUR guidelines, drivers are not allowed to pass other vehicles at pedestrian crosswalks, even if no pedestrians are currently present. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians and to maintain the integrity of the crosswalk as a designated area for crossing. The intention behind this rule is to prevent potential accidents, especially since vehicles might unexpectedly encounter pedestrians who may be crossing or about to cross the road. Crosswalks serve as critical points for pedestrian safety, and any potential confusion or unexpected behavior from drivers could lead to dangerous situations. By not allowing vehicles to pass at these locations, the rule creates a safer environment for all road users. Even if the crosswalk appears empty at the moment of passing, it is essential to respect the designated crossing area and the traffic regulations associated with it.
