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

When a pedestrian is in a crosswalk, you must yield to them and stop if necessary. The key idea is that people walking in crosswalks have the right of way, so drivers need to slow down and wait to let them cross safely. You should approach with caution, slow down, and stop before the crosswalk if the pedestrian is present. Don’t honk or speed up to “make way”—that can startle or endanger the person. If you’re turning, you still must yield to the pedestrian and only proceed when they’ve finished crossing or it’s safe to do so.
