BDifficulty 2/5

At a pedestrian crossing marked on the road, with no officers or traffic lights directing passage differently, must the driver give way to pedestrians crossing it?

Correct answer

Yes, in the stated conditions.

Yes. In this scenario pedestrians have priority; the driver must give way, reduce speed and stop when necessary. The marking does not override officers or traffic lights: higher-ranking directions must be observed when present. Pedestrians must also obey signals applying to them. Always drive cautiously to avoid endangering them.
