What action should you take if you approach a crosswalk and a pedestrian has begun crossing?

Giving pedestrians the right-of-way at crosswalks is essential. When a pedestrian has begun crossing, you must come to a full stop and yield, waiting until the pedestrian has finished crossing and the way is clear before proceeding. Do not try to move through or hurry them, and always re-check for other hazards before you start moving again. This keeps pedestrians safe and aligns with how drivers must behave at crosswalks.
