Show answer

Correct answer

  • CPor la distancia y velocidad de los vehículos que se acercan.By the distance and speed of the approaching vehicles.
Explanation

At a pedestrian crossing you must never signal to pedestrians inviting them to cross. This is because other drivers cannot see our signals and could hit these pedestrians. It is the pedestrian who must decide whether or not to cross, based on the distance and speed of the approaching vehicles.
