What should you do if a pedestrian is crossing your lane where no crosswalk is present?
Irrespective of the presence of a marked crosswalk, drivers are obliged to yield to pedestrians crossing the road. Pedestrian right-of-way means drivers must allow pedestrians to complete their crossing safely before proceeding. Stopping ensures pedestrian safety and demonstrates respect for pedestrian rights on shared roadways, thereby helping to prevent potential accidents and ensuring that all road users can operate safely and courteously.
