Can pedestrians stop and let you go

When pedestrians stop to give way, they can generally walk, but they need to observe and confirm the other party's intention and road safety. Pedestrians stopping voluntarily may be due to politeness or special reasons, and should be judged based on the specific scene. When pedestrians stand next to a zebra crossing and make obvious stops and gestures, it is usually safe to pass. At this point, pedestrians have noticed the vehicle and voluntarily give way. Drivers should maintain a constant speed to avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking. When passing, it is still necessary to observe the movement of pedestrians, and some pedestrians may change their behavior due to unexpected situations. At night or in adverse weather conditions, it is recommended to slow down and confirm even if pedestrians give way, as low visibility may lead to judgment errors. If pedestrians stop unconsciously due to temporary actions such as answering or making phone calls, tying shoelaces, etc., they should not pass directly. Some elderly people or children may pause on the road due to slow movement, and misjudging their intention to give way may pose a danger. When encountering pedestrians hesitating in non zebra crossing areas, it is recommended to stop and wait for their clear intention to pass. Special places such as schools and hospitals should give priority to pedestrians regardless of whether they give way. Regardless of whether pedestrians voluntarily give way or not, drivers must comply with the traffic regulations regarding yielding to pedestrians. When passing through a pedestrian crossing, one should slow down in advance and observe the movement of pedestrians before deciding whether to proceed. When encountering people with mobility difficulties or crossing the road in groups, even if the other party stops, they should actively stop and give way. Developing defensive driving habits and not considering pedestrians giving way as an inevitable traffic signal can effectively prevent traffic accidents.
