Correct answer
Give them priority.
When crossing a hard shoulder used by pedestrians, it is essential to give them priority. This rule is based on the principle of protecting the most vulnerable road users, in this case pedestrians. When approaching a hard shoulder where there are pedestrians, drivers must reduce their speed to give way to them. This means that if pedestrians are crossing or about to cross the hard shoulder, the driver must stop if necessary to avoid any risk of collision or endangering their safety.
