Correct answer

  • CSiempre que un peatón esté atravesándolo o demuestre su intención de hacerlo.Whenever a pedestrian is crossing or shows their intention to do so.
Explanation

Pedestrians have priority on marked pedestrian crossings (Article 65 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). The driver must stop not only when a pedestrian is already crossing but also when they are about to do so, and to be able to do this must approach at a moderate speed.
