What should you do when approaching a sidewalk?

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.
