In New Jersey, a frozen dessert (ice cream) truck is stopped along your route. In which case may you keep going without stopping for it?
Correct answer: When a safety island on a divided highway separates you from the truck.
Answer options
- AWhen a safety island on a divided highway separates you from the truck Correct
- BWhen someone on foot is crossing the road to reach the truck
- CWhen the truck is displaying its flashing red lights to traffic
Why
New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 39:4-128.4) requires you to stop for an ice cream truck that is flashing red lights and showing its stop arm, yield to anyone crossing to or from it, and then pass at no more than 15 mph. You may keep going without stopping only on a divided highway where a safety island or raised median separates you from the truck.
Tip Respond to a vending ice cream truck the way you would to a stopped school bus, stopping for its flashing lights unless a divided highway's median keeps you apart from it.
