Yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks is the priority. If a pedestrian is about to step into the crosswalk, you must stop and let them cross. You only proceed once the crosswalk is clear and you have a safe gap. This protects the pedestrian and aligns with traffic rules. Honking to hurry them can startle or confuse them and isn’t safe. Slowing down and proceeding without stopping still puts the pedestrian at risk, and turning away ignores the danger and doesn’t solve the problem. Wait patiently, then go when it’s safe.
