Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pay special attention and respect pedestrians' right-of-way.
To avoid hitting pedestrians, pay special attention to them and respect their right-of-way, such as at crosswalks or when you turn onto a street they are crossing. In the image, the car ahead has braked before the crosswalk while two pedestrians cross. Gesturing for them to cross is dangerous because another driver may not have seen them.
