The driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the public road, through a specially designated place, marked and signalled accordingly or at the green colour of the traffic light intended for him, when he is on the lane of travel of the vehicle.
Considering this obligation, when you intend to change the direction of travel to the right in an intersection, besides the obligation to signal in time the change of the direction of travel, although you entered the intersection at the green signal colour of the traffic light, if you intersect with pedestrians who are crossing the public road in compliance with the traffic rules, who are on your lane of travel, you have the obligation to give them priority, after which you can continue your movement.
