Explanation

As a general rule, drivers have right of way over pedestrians, except: - At pedestrian crossings. - When they turn into another road and there are pedestrians crossing it, even if there is no crossing for them. - When crossing a hard shoulder along which pedestrians are walking because they have no pedestrian area. - When crossing pedestrian areas. - When pedestrians are getting on or off a bus at a marked stop and are between the vehicle and the nearest pedestrian area or refuge. - When pedestrians form a troop, a line of schoolchildren or an organised procession.
