You want to exit the property lot. What is the right thing to do?

Your answer is fully correct. When exiting a property lot in Germany, you must always wait for pedestrians to have safely crossed your exit path. Pedestrians generally have the right of way in such situations. However, if the pedestrians clearly waive their right of way, for example by signaling you to go ahead, you may proceed.

Sounding the horn to pressure pedestrians to let you exit is not permitted because it can startle them and is considered unsafe and discourteous. Always prioritize pedestrian safety and communication through agreed signals to ensure smooth and safe traffic flow.

In summary, wait for pedestrians to cross unless they explicitly allow you to go, but never use the horn to force your way out. This respects the rules and keeps everyone safe.
