As you approach a crosswalk with pedestrians crossing, what should you do?

When approaching a crosswalk where pedestrians are crossing, it is essential to stop for them to ensure their safety and allow them to cross safely. Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks, and stopping demonstrates respect for this right as well as adherence to traffic laws designed to protect vulnerable users of the road.

In addition to promoting safety, yielding to pedestrians also encourages responsible driving behavior and fosters a culture of awareness and consideration on the road. It is important to remain vigilant and aware of pedestrians, particularly when they are in or near the crosswalk, as they may be difficult to see at times or may step into the crosswalk unexpectedly. By stopping, you help avoid potential accidents and contribute to a safer environment for everyone on the road.
