What should you do if you see a pedestrian in a crosswalk?

When you see a pedestrian in a crosswalk, the appropriate response is to stop and yield to the pedestrian. This rule is established to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, who have the right of way when they are crossing at designated crosswalks. By stopping and allowing the pedestrian to cross, you not only comply with traffic laws but also contribute to creating a safer environment for all road users. Yielding promotes caution and awareness on the roads, which is essential in preventing accidents and ensuring that pedestrians can cross safely. This practice is crucial, especially in areas where pedestrian traffic is common, as it helps foster mutual respect between drivers and those on foot.
