Explanation
As a driver, you have the responsibility to give the right-of-way to any pedestrian in the intersection. Even if the signal light changes to green, you must wait until the pedestrian has safely crossed the street before proceeding. Failing to do so can result in a potentially dangerous situation and may cause harm to the pedestrian.
