What must you anticipate when you see this road sign?

Your answer is fully correct. This road sign warns you of a pedestrian crossing that might be difficult to see, so you must be extra alert. It also signals that pedestrians might cross the road here, meaning you should slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. This precaution helps prevent accidents, especially in areas where visibility is limited or pedestrian activity is frequent. The sign does not imply any limitation on which side pedestrians may cross from, so option 3 is incorrect. Understanding this sign helps you drive more safely near pedestrian zones.
