Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way, so drivers must yield to them and wait until the crosswalk is clear before moving. As you approach, slow down and stop if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk or about to enter it, allowing them to finish crossing safely. You should not speed up to beat them, and honking is not a substitute for yielding. Even when turning, you must yield to anyone in the crosswalk. Always be ready for pedestrians near intersections, school zones, and driveways, and stop as needed.
