Solution

At a crosswalk, the pedestrian has the right of way. Here are the steps that explain this:

  1. When a pedestrian is at a crosswalk, drivers are required by law to yield the right of way to the pedestrian. This is to ensure the safety of the pedestrian, as they are more vulnerable than someone in a vehicle.

  2. If a pedestrian is crossing the road at a crosswalk, even if they have not yet reached your lane, you should stop your vehicle.

  3. You should remain stopped until the pedestrian has crossed not only your lane, but the entire road.

  4. If there is a pedestrian crossing signal at the crosswalk, drivers should yield to pedestrians who have the walk signal.

  5. Even if there is no marked crosswalk, drivers should yield to pedestrians crossing at an intersection.

Remember, safety is the most important thing on the road. Always be alert and aware of pedestrians, especially at crosswalks.
