What should you do when approaching a junction with pedestrians already crossing?

When approaching a junction where pedestrians are already crossing, giving way to the pedestrians is essential. This action prioritizes the safety of the pedestrians, as they have the right of way in such situations. It ensures that they can continue crossing without the risk of being struck by a vehicle, thereby promoting a safe and respectful interaction between drivers and pedestrians.

While coming to a complete stop might seem like a cautious approach, it is not always required if the pedestrians are already crossing; the emphasis should be on allowing them to complete their crossing safely. Speeding up could lead to dangerous situations, putting both the driver and pedestrians at risk. Honking the horn is generally discouraged in this context as it can startle pedestrians and does not actively contribute to their safety.
