Right of way at a zebra crossing: when do you need to stop?

Who has priority at a zebra crossing?A driver must give way to pedestrians who are crossing at a pedestrian crossing or are clearly about to do so. So you do not wait until someone is already in the middle of the road.What should you pay attention to?Look ahead to both sides of the zebra crossing early.Pay attention to eye contact, walking direction, and body language.Adjust your speed so you can stop calmly.Keep in mind children, elderly people, and people who may cross more slowly.A cyclist riding across the zebra crossing is not legally a pedestrian. If the cyclist gets off and walks the bicycle by hand, then they are. In all cases, stay cautious: having right of way does not prevent a collision.Exam tipAt unclear zebra crossings, ease off the accelerator early. This gives you time to recognise a pedestrian’s intention and helps you avoid sudden braking.Check the RVV 1990 at the official source.
