New
Does a driver have to wait until a pedestrian is completely out of a crosswalk before proceeding?
In most States yes drivers are to yield to pedestrians until they have crossed the street. However so many drivers think as soon as the pedestrian passed them they can go, that is illegal because the law says ACROSS not Halfway across.
When Drivers are to yield the right of way to pedestrians?
In the US - it greatly depends on the state and how the pedestrian laws are written for that state. GENERALLY - a pedestrian crossing at a MARKED crosswalk, and in conformance with any pedestrian signals or traffic lights, will legally have the right-of-way, but you DO have the responsibility to make sure you can do it in a safe manner.
When crossing a street pedestrians should always use a crosswalk if it is available or should wait for traffic to stop for them.?
By law, motorists are REQUIRED to stop for ANY pedestrian at any MARKED crosswalk with crosswalk lines on both sides. At some crosswalks with no traffic light, pedestrians are not required to wait although since all drivers are not that smart to automatically stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, it may be wise for the pedestrian to consider their own safety and wait anyway.
What is the pedestrians law.?
In the U.S. and Canada the law is: * Cross on crosswalks (if a car hits a pedestrian in a crosswalk that's not a good thing! * Most crosswalks have either an automatic signal to tell the pedestrian when to cross or there is a button close by the pedestrian can push to change the crosswalk signal. * If pedestrians J-walk (not in a crosswalk) then it's not the driver's fault in most cases. * If the weather is bad it's up to the pedestrian to be aware as much as the driver of vehicles and if you go out dressed in black or any dark clothing and think that you have are the cock of the J-walk think again! If you have dark clothing on and were not giving drivers a chance to see you then charges may not be laid against the driver and you're on your own. NOTE: A pedestrian is just as responsible for walking even across a crosswalk as a driver is seeing them.

Does every intersection have a pedestrian crosswalk?
No What that means is that regardless of whether or not there is a painted pedestrian crosswalk, pedestrians still have the right of way on the road so you need to always keep your eyes out for them. You rarely see painted crosswalks especially in rural areas so be careful. If you have taken a drivers ed course, you will learn about checking your zones through the Smith System. You should also keep your eyes moving so that you are aware of what is happening all around your vehicle in relation to other moving objects. If you aren't familiar with this, I would suggest you sign up for a drivers ed class before you ever get behind the wheel.
If a car hits a pedestrian crossing where there is a crosswalk sign who is responsible in California?
Crosswalks A crosswalk is that part of the pavement where the sidewalk lines would extend across the street and it is set aside for pedestrian traffic. Every intersection has a pedestrian crosswalk whether or not there are painted lines on the street. Most crosswalks are at corners but they can also be in the middle of the block. Before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked. Some crosswalks have flashing lights to warn you that pedestrians may be crossing. Look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the lights are flashing. To get more information on this matter and other California motor vehicle laws goto http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/driver_handbook_toc.htm and click on the PDF version of the drivers handbook.
