You want to leave the [petrol station]. What is correct?

When leaving a petrol station or any private property to enter a public road in Germany, you must always give priority to pedestrians who are crossing the sidewalk in front of your exit. This is because you are entering or re-entering the flow of public traffic, and all road users on the main road, including vehicles and especially pedestrians on the sidewalk, have priority over you. The rule protects vulnerable road users, like pedestrians, who may be using the sidewalk as you are exiting. Always stop and check for pedestrians before driving onto the road. You chose correctly—giving priority to pedestrians is required by law in this situation.
