When a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk, what must drivers do?

When a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk, drivers must stop and yield to that pedestrian, and only proceed after they have crossed. This gives pedestrians the right of way and keeps them safe as they cross the road. In practice, don’t assume a pedestrian won’t cross if they look away; don’t move until the crosswalk is clear. Honking or continuing while they’re still crossing is unsafe and not allowed.
