When approaching a marked pedestrian crossing and observing pedestrians crossing or preparing to cross, what behavior should the driver adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

At a pedestrian crossing, road safety rules and traffic regulations require moderating speed. The correct answer is 'Slow down and stop if necessary'. You should not maintain your speed (even if below the maximum limit) because the presence of pedestrians changes the safety conditions of the road. It is also incorrect to wait to stop only if they are already crossing; you must anticipate the maneuver if you observe that they intend to cross, in order to yield the right of way safely.
