When exiting residential or pedestrian zones, you are obliged to give priority to all vehicles, not only motor vehicles.
When exiting residential or pedestrian zones, you are 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 vehicle's direction of travel. But in answer B it is not specified whether the pedestrian is outside the residential or pedestrian zone or whether he is crossing on a pedestrian crossing. Even if the pedestrian is on a pedestrian crossing marked and signalled accordingly, you still do not have the obligation to give him priority, because he is on the opposite direction of travel, as specified in the answer.
When you exit a pedestrian or residential zone you have the obligation to give priority to all vehicles with which you intersect. Attention! You must give priority to all vehicles, even bicycles or electric scooters.
