Correct answer
Respect their priority and adapt speed to stop.
Respect pedestrians’ applicable priority and adapt speed so you can stop. Priority is not limited to marked crossings: it also applies in other situations, such as when turning into a road pedestrians are crossing, under Article 65. Pay particular attention to children and older people. A driver’s gesture does not guarantee other lanes are safe, and the horn does not replace giving way. Even if a pedestrian breaks a rule, act to avoid a collision.
