Correct answer

  • BModerar la velocidad, hasta incluso llegar a detenernos, para no suponer un riesgo para él.Slow down, even stopping, so that we are not a danger to them.
Explanation

If there are pedestrians on the part of the road we are using, we must slow down, even stopping, because although the pedestrian does not have right of way, they are a vulnerable road user and we must be very careful not to hit them.
