When approaching a marked pedestrian crossing, how must the driver behave to comply with regulations?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to reduce speed and stop if necessary. General traffic regulations state that pedestrians have the right of way at marked crossings. The driver is obligated to approach at a moderate speed that allows them to stop the vehicle safely if pedestrians are crossing or showing intent to do so. Analysis of incorrect options: Brake completely: It is not mandatory to stop if no pedestrians are using the crossing or intending to do so; stopping without cause would unjustifiably hinder traffic flow. Use the horn: The use of acoustic signals is highly restricted (mainly to avoid imminent accidents). Using it to warn a pedestrian in their priority zone is incorrect and can startle them, creating a dangerous situation.
