At a place with the following safety sign, a pedestrian is waiting to cross the road. What is the correct way to drive?
When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross at a crosswalk, the driver has a duty to carry out at a set position (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Think about whether 'the pedestrian has not started crossing yet' cancels that duty, and whether driving slowly is the same as a temporary stop.
Answer: ①
Explanation
This sign, showing a person walking on a crosswalk, instructs pedestrians to use the crosswalk and is installed on both sides of the road where a crosswalk is located (Enforcement Rule Annex 6, No. 322). When a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross, the driver must make a temporary stop before the crosswalk, or at the stop line if there is one (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)). Passing first or using the horn to make the pedestrian wait violates the duty to protect pedestrians.
