When approaching an intersection without a traffic light and a pedestrian is crossing, what must a driver do?

When a driver approaches an intersection where a pedestrian is crossing, the law requires that the driver stops and allows the pedestrian to cross safely. This ensures the safety of pedestrians and upholds traffic regulations designed to protect vulnerable road users.

Pedestrians have the right of way in these situations, and stopping not only complies with legal obligations but also contributes to the overall safety of the road environment. Allowing the pedestrian to cross can prevent accidents and injuries, fostering a responsible driving culture.

In contrast, accelerating to pass quickly, honking and proceeding with caution, or continuing to drive without stopping disregard the safety of the pedestrian, potentially leading to dangerous situations or collisions. By prioritizing the pedestrian's right to cross, the driver helps maintain order and safety on the roads.
