Correct answer
Yes, in the stated situation, observing safe-crossing conditions.
Yes. Pedestrians have priority at that marked crossing. They should enter only when approaching vehicles’ distance and speed allow safe crossing. Where traffic lights or agents regulate the crossing, obey their instructions: the road marking does not permit ignoring them. In areas with crossings, use them rather than crossing nearby.
