Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Elderly people generally have slower walking - speeds, so they are likely to take the longest to cross the street.
  2. Storm grates can be hazardous for bicyclists as their wheels can get caught, causing an unexpected maneuver. Signs indicating a bicycle route ahead are not likely to cause an unexpected maneuver.
  3. Animals near roadways are dangerous because their actions are erratic and unpredictable.
  4. Passing another vehicle as you approach a hill crest is dangerous as you cannot see oncoming traffic.
  5. Tailgating before passing is dangerous and not recommended as it reduces reaction - time and increases the risk of accidents.
