If a pedestrian is signaling to cross at a non-signalized intersection, what should you do?

Pedestrians crossing at an intersection have the right of way, especially when they signal to cross. You should slow down and stop to let them finish crossing, and only proceed once the way is clear. This reduces the risk of collision and is the safe, legal action at a non-signalized intersection. Do not speed up, honk, or ignore them—those actions endanger pedestrians and can lead to fines or worse. Always be prepared to stop for pedestrians and watch for others who may be nearby.
