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 a Blind pedestrian have the right of way?
A Blind pedestrian has the right of way if they are already in the roadway or appear to be ready to step onto the roadway. You must slow down if you are uncertain what any pedestrian is about to do. If a blind person is standing back from the corner with a seeing eye dog and does not appear close to or preparing to cross the street, of course you can continue--slowly.
