When you come to an intersection where a stop is required to allow a pedestrian to cross the street, you should?

Stop at the curb
Stop before the pedestrian
Remain stationary until the pedestrian completes crossing
Increase your speed to get around the pedestrian

The correct answer is: Remain stationary until the pedestrian completes crossing

At an intersection where a stop is required for a pedestrian to cross, you should always remain stationary until the pedestrian has completed crossing the street. This option is the safest and most respectful option for both the pedestrian and the driver. Option A, stopping at the curb, is not a required stop and may still put the pedestrian at risk. Option B, stopping before the pedestrian, is also not recommended as it can often be confusing and lead to miscommunication. Option D, increasing your speed to get around the pedestrian, is both dangerous and illegal as it puts the pedestrian at risk and violates their right of way. Therefore, option C is the only correct and safe choice in this scenario.
