Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, so you must yield when someone is waiting to cross. Stop and wait until they have crossed and the way is clear. This protects the pedestrian and aligns with Nova Scotia road rules. Rushing through, honking, or steering into the other lane doesn’t improve safety and can cause harm or confusion. Always slow down near a crosswalk and be prepared to stop if a pedestrian is present or waiting to cross.
