Explanation
Under Article 65.1.a of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), pedestrians have right of way on properly marked pedestrian crossings, pavements and other pedestrian areas. The driver must not tell the pedestrian when to cross or use the horn for that: they must respect the pedestrian's right of way.
