A driver turns with their vehicle to enter another road. Must they give way to a pedestrian who is crossing it?
Right of way
Explanation
When a driver turns with their vehicle to enter another road, **they must yield to pedestrians who are crossing**, even if there is no marked pedestrian crossing. This is because pedestrians have priority in several situations, and one of them is precisely when a vehicle is going to turn onto a road where there are pedestrians crossing.
- **Pedestrian priority:** Pedestrians have priority at pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, and other pedestrian areas. Additionally, when a vehicle turns to enter another road, pedestrians crossing that road have priority.
- **Specific situations:** Even if there is no pedestrian crossing, if a pedestrian is crossing the road the vehicle wants to turn onto, the driver must wait and allow the pedestrian to cross safely.
Therefore, it is always important to be attentive to pedestrians when turning and to yield to them to ensure their safety.
