Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections."
Rationale:

🛞 Intersections pose increased danger due to limited visibility, traffic flow, and unpredictable driver behavior.
🛞 Having the child dismount and walk the bicycle promotes greater control, caution, and pedestrian-level awareness.
🛞 It allows the child to obey traffic signals and navigate intersections safely, especially in high-traffic areas.
