When approaching a crosswalk where a pedestrian has just stepped into, the correct course of action is to stop immediately and wait for the pedestrian to cross. It is essential to prioritize the safety and right of way of the pedestrian when riding a motorcycle. Speeding up, swerving around the pedestrian, or sounding your horn can all pose significant risks to the pedestrian's safety and are not appropriate actions to take in this situation. Therefore, stopping and waiting for the pedestrian to cross is the safest and most responsible choice.
