Upon approaching a pedestrian who clearly shows an intention to cross the road, what safety behavior must the driver adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to moderate speed and stop if necessary. Pedestrians are considered vulnerable road users. According to general traffic regulations, the driver must always maintain control of the vehicle and be prepared to stop for any obstacle or unforeseen danger. Honking is generally prohibited in urban areas unless there is imminent danger (and could startle the pedestrian, causing a dangerous reaction), and continuing to drive while assuming priority is reckless behavior that could lead to an accident. Prudence requires reducing speed to anticipate the pedestrian's actions.
