- The rule “first to come, first to go” applies to an exit from a premises or from an access road to a house. The pedestrians will wait.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and even stop if required, in order to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
The sidewalk belongs to pedestrians, so a driver leaving premises or a house access road must slow down and be ready to stop so they can cross safely. Stopping is needed only when pedestrians are actually there, not every time. There is no "first to come, first to go" rule, and pedestrians do not have to wait for the exiting vehicle.
