What should you do if a pedestrian is crossing the street in front of you?

Yielding to a pedestrian and allowing them to cross safely is the appropriate action when encountering a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. This response aligns with traffic laws designed to prioritize the safety of pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks and should be given the time and space to cross the street without feeling rushed or endangered.

Prioritizing pedestrian safety fosters compliance with traffic rules and contributes to overall road safety. It demonstrates responsible driving behavior and promotes a culture of respect for all road users, especially those who may be more vulnerable, such as pedestrians.
