Correct answer
Yes, respecting priority at the marked crossing.
Yes. The crossing markings retain pedestrian priority when the lights are out of service, unless a higher-ranking instruction overrides them. Slow down and stop if necessary to let them cross safely. This does not require stopping at every empty crossing: respect priority and adapt your driving to the circumstances.
