Under Article 65 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), pedestrians have right of way on pavements and other pedestrian areas, and when vehicles cross them at the places provided for this, drivers must let the pedestrians on them go first. That is why, when crossing the pavement to leave a garage, you must slow down and take extra care.
