Tips & Comments
Another trite phrase, this one causes many pedestrians to step out, in traffic, under the false assumption that "pedestrians have the right-of-way". They don't! Pedestrians must also obey the simple laws, which is why we have pedestrians lights (walk, don't walk). Once they are in a x-walk, yes, a motorist must YIELD to them. But the laws ALSO forbid them from stepping away from the curb UNLESS it is safe to do so. This is one reason you often see news headlines, "Pedestrian killed, driver not cited."
