Obligación de detenerse por peatones con discapacidad visual

Explicación Simple

Si manejas y ves a una persona ciega o con problemas de visión que cruza la calle, debes detenerte y esperar hasta que cruce completamente. Esto es para ayudar a que estén seguros al cruzar.

Es como cuando esperas a que un amigo cruce la calle antes de seguir caminando; quieres asegurarte de que esté a salvo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está manejando y ve a María, quien es ciega y lleva un perro guía, intentando cruzar la calle. Juan debe detenerse y no moverse hasta que María haya cruzado completamente la vía. Si no lo hace, podría meterse en problemas.

Penalidades

Puede haber consecuencias legales, incluyendo multas, si no te detienes por un peatón con discapacidad visual.
