(a) A pedestrian control signal displaying "Walk," "Don't Walk," or "Wait" applies to a pedestrian as provided by this section. (b) A pedestrian facing a "Walk" signal may proceed across a roadway in the direction of the signal, and the operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian. (c) A pedestrian may not start to cross a roadway in the direction of a "Don't Walk" signal or a "Wait" signal. A pedestrian who has partially crossed while the "Walk" signal is displayed shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety island while the "Don't Walk" signal or "Wait" signal is displayed.

When a vehicle ahead of you stop to let a pedestrian pass in front of you you should?
Always give up the "right-of-way" to the pedestrian. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way and if you hit them under almost any circumstances it can be found to be your fault. Best to be safe, considerate and let the pedestrian cross, even if they are not in a crosswalk.

When a vehicle stops ahead of you to let a pedestrian pass what should you do?
You should also stop. If you overtake, you risk running down the pedestrian or causing an accident. The vehicle in front may appear (from your obscured point of view) to have stopped to let a pedestrian cross, but the vehicle in front may be masking something more serious, like someone laying injured in the road.

Slow down, check side/rear/blind spot to see if the lane beside you is clear, put on your turn signal, merge to the lane away from the stopped emergency vehicle. However, be prepared to come to a full stop if needed or directed by emergency personnel. Do not gawk-- keep your eyes on the road. Looking at accidents is a sure way to cause another accident.
