A pedestrian wants to cross the road via the pedestrian crossing. What should you do?

You answered correctly. When a pedestrian is waiting to cross at a pedestrian crossing, you are required by German traffic law to be ready to stop and to refrain from overtaking. This ensures the safety of pedestrians, as they have the right of way at marked crossings. Overtaking is especially dangerous here because it can put pedestrians at risk and is strictly prohibited in these situations. Always be prepared to stop and never try to overtake other vehicles that have stopped at a pedestrian crossing. This helps prevent accidents and is a key rule for protecting pedestrians on the road.
