What should you do when approaching a sidewalk?

Honk your horn to let pedestrians know I am approaching quickly
Speed up and pass ahead of pedestrians
Observe the behavior of pedestrians and if they are walking slowly, there is no need to yield
If pedestrians are preparing to cross the street, slow down or stop to yield.

In New Zealand, the correct practice when approaching a sidewalk is as follows: If there are pedestrians preparing to cross the road, slow down or stop to give way. When approaching a pedestrian crossing, first reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. At the same time, carefully observe if there are any pedestrians ready to cross the road.

Give way to pedestrians: If there are pedestrians standing on the pedestrian crossing waiting to cross the road, you must stop to ensure they have enough time and space to cross safely. Respecting the right of way for pedestrians is a very important traffic principle.
