If a pedestrian is in a crosswalk, what should you do?

Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way, so you must slow down and stop if needed to let them cross safely. This is about Safe driving practice and the law requiring drivers to yield to people crossing. Honking doesn’t protect the pedestrian and isn’t a substitute for giving them space, and speeding up to get past puts someone at risk. Ignoring the pedestrian and continuing is unsafe and illegal. Always be prepared to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk and wait until they have crossed completely before continuing.
