When approaching a pedestrian crossing, what should you do?
Right of way
Explanation
When approaching a **pedestrian crossing**, it is important to **reduce speed** and be prepared to stop if necessary. This is because **pedestrians have the right of way** at pedestrian crossings, which means drivers must yield to them.
- **Reducing speed** allows the driver more time to react if a pedestrian decides to cross.
- Stopping is necessary if there are pedestrians crossing or if they are approaching the pedestrian crossing, thus ensuring their safety.
It is not appropriate to use the horn to warn pedestrians, as it may scare them or cause confusion. Additionally, it is not necessary to stop all the time, only when there are pedestrians crossing or about to cross. Reducing speed and stopping if necessary ensures that the pedestrians' right of way is respected and accidents are avoided.
