Motorists must watch out for pedestrians and stop for them if they are in a legal crosswalk. Of course, even if they're dumb enough to step out in front of moving traffic, you should try not to hit them.
the fine for failing to yield to pedestrians is $100-$500 fine
Yield to the pedestrians.
Example sentence - The driving instructions indicate yield to pedestrians.
No, it is not illegal to walk. "Do Not Walk" crossing signs help protect motorists and pedestrians.
You yield to pedestrians and ones who have the right of way and be cautious!!
At intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, slow down and be ready to stop. Yield to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection or just entering the intersection.At "T" intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, yield to traffic and pedestrians on the through road. They have the right-of-way.
Common sense would say "YES". The object is to be SEEN by other motorists and pedestrians.
false
A driver should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians:
It is a motorist's duty NOT to hit a pedestrian. It is a motorist's duty to drive at a speed where he can stop so as not to hit something in front of him. Thus the point is moot - if a pedestrian is "in the road" you should not hit him/her - you stop and give way. Imagine - "your honor I had the right of way so I drove the pedestrian down".
The opposite of motorist is non-motorist. The typical opposite is pedestrian, but there are also non-motorized vehicles (carts, bicycles) that may use the road.
