If you intend to turn to enter another street and find pedestrians crossing it, what behavior should you adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations state that, while vehicles generally have priority over pedestrians, this priority is lost in specific situations. One of the most important is when changing direction to enter another road: if pedestrians are crossing it, the driver must yield, even if there is no marked crosswalk. The other answers are incorrect because the obligation to yield does not depend on whether the pedestrian has seen the vehicle or the existence of road markings in this specific case.
