Explanation
When the driver ahead of you stops at a crosswalk, it indicates that there are pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the street. Passing a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk can be dangerous as there might be pedestrians hidden from your view. Stop your vehicle and wait until all pedestrians have completely crossed the street before proceeding.
