When approaching a group or line of schoolchildren who are about to cross the road, are you required to yield to them?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Pedestrians have the right of way over vehicles when military units on foot, lines of schoolchildren and organized processions are walking (General Traffic Regulations, Article 65(1)(e)). That is why you must yield to them, whether they cross at a marked pedestrian crossing or at any other point of the roadway. Saying that you only have to yield to them if there is a danger of running them over is incorrect, because their right of way does not depend on that risk. And limiting it to marked pedestrian crossings is incorrect too, because the rule does not make it conditional on where they cross.
