Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way. When someone has started to cross, you must stop and let them finish crossing before you continue. This rule protects people who are vulnerable and may take a moment to reach the other side, especially if you’re turning or moving at a not-fully-visible time. Do not honk, slow-roll, or try to speed past; those actions create a risk of collision. If you’re turning at an intersection, wait until the pedestrian has cleared the crosswalk before completing your turn. Only proceed once the path is clear.
