What should you do when approaching a pedestrian crossing that is being crossed by pedestrians?
- Stop and give right-of-way to the pedestrians that cross the road from left to right only.
- Slow down, honk and warn the pedestrians that you intend to continue driving.
- Speed up and cross in front or behind them, without endangering them.
- Correct answer: Always slow down and even stop if required, in order to allow the pedestrians to cross the roadway safely.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Always slow down and even stop if required, in order to allow the pedestrians to cross the roadway safely.
Pedestrians at a pedestrian crossing have right-of-way, so slow down and stop if required until they have finished crossing safely. The duty applies to pedestrians crossing from both directions, not only from left to right. Do not speed up to pass in front of them, and pedestrians do not have to clear the way because of a honk.
