Question 594 in the bank

What are you required to do according to the following traffic sign?

A blue square containing a white triangle with a black figure of a person walking over black stripes.
  1. Warn pedestrians by honking loudly and turning on the headlights.
  2. Continue driving and make sure that the pedestrians clear away from the roadway.
  3. Correct answer: When you're driving and approaching this traffic sign, always slow down and even stop if necessary to allow pedestrians to safely cross the road.
  4. Honk and warn the crossing pedestrians.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When you're driving and approaching this traffic sign, always slow down and even stop if necessary to allow pedestrians to safely cross the road.

The sign marks a pedestrian crossing, and pedestrians have right-of-way at a pedestrian crossing. So you must always slow down as you approach it and, if necessary, stop and let them finish crossing safely. Honking or turning on the lights does not replace giving right-of-way, and you must not keep driving expecting the pedestrians to clear the road.
