Explanation
Pedestrians who are crossing the road or street at marked or un-marked crosswalks have the right-of-way. When approaching a pedestrian crossing the street, drivers must decrease their speed or, if necessary, come to a complete stop, and may proceed only once the road is clear. Pedestrians are at high risk in traffic, so drivers must be extra careful around them and do everything in their power to avoid a collision.
