Correct answer
the distance and speed of the vehicles allow them to do so safely.
At a marked pedestrian crossing that is not controlled by an agent or traffic light, pedestrians should only enter the carriageway when the distance and speed of the vehicles allow them to do so safely. Although pedestrians have priority at pedestrian crossings, it is essential to ensure that vehicles stop or slow down sufficiently to cross safely. If crossing is unsafe because of the speed or proximity of vehicles, it is better to wait until there is a safe opportunity. Pedestrian safety is the main priority in these cases.
