Correct answer
- CSí, aunque no dispongan de paso de peatones.Yes, even if they have no pedestrian crossing.
As a general rule, drivers have right of way over pedestrians, except in the following cases: at properly signed pedestrian crossings; when turning into another road and there are pedestrians crossing it, even if there is no crossing for them; when the vehicle crosses a hard shoulder used by pedestrians who have no pedestrian area; in pedestrian zones, where vehicles cross them at the points provided, drivers must let the pedestrians walking there go first; pedestrians about to get on or who have just got off a public passenger vehicle at a signed stop, when they are between the vehicle and the nearest pedestrian area or refuge; troops in formation, lines of schoolchildren or organised processions.
