Under Connecticut law, when may you drive past a frozen dessert (ice cream) truck without stopping?
Correct answer: When a safety island separates you from the truck.
Answer options
- AWhen it is stopped with its red lights flashing
- BWhen a safety island separates you from the truck Correct
- CWhen a person is walking across the road toward it
- DWhen it has its stop signal arm swung out
Why
When a frozen dessert truck has its red lights flashing or its stop arm extended, drivers must stop, and they must also stop for anyone crossing the street to reach it, because children often run into the road. A divided highway is the exception: if a safety island is between you and the truck, you may continue with care.
Tip Handle a stopped ice cream truck much like a school bus: stop unless a raised island on a divided road stands between you and the truck.
