Explanation
Pedestrians should never enter a crosswalk if vehicles are approaching nearby, as those vehicles may not be able to stop in time. While drivers are responsible for yielding to pedestrians and ensuring their safety, pedestrians must also obey traffic laws and avoid crossing when it is unsafe. This mutual responsibility helps prevent accidents and protects vulnerable road users.
