In this situation, are you obliged to reduce speed, even though there are no pedestrians at the pedestrian crossing?

A driver approaching a pedestrian crossing is required to exercise particular care and reduce speed so as not to endanger a pedestrian. In the presented situation, the pedestrians are standing at the edge of the carriageway and waiting to cross, which clearly indicates their intention to enter the crossing. Therefore, you must reduce your speed to be prepared to give way to them.
