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.
In situations must a driver yield to a pedestrian?
A driver must yield to a pedestrian when the pedestrian is in a crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked, and has the right of way. Additionally, drivers should yield when a pedestrian is waiting to cross at an intersection or when a pedestrian is already crossing the road in front of them. It's also important for drivers to be cautious in areas where pedestrians are likely to be present, such as school zones or residential areas. Always prioritize safety and be prepared to stop for pedestrians.
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.
How far from a crosswalk at an intersection can you stop?
You should not stop your vehicle within 15 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. This distance helps ensure that pedestrians can safely cross the street and that drivers have a clear view of the crosswalk. Additionally, local laws may vary, so it's important to be aware of specific regulations in your area. Always prioritize pedestrian safety and visibility when stopping near crosswalks.

Why is crossing the crosswalk important?
Crossing at a crosswalk is important for safety as it is designed to provide a designated area for pedestrians to cross the street, reducing the risk of accidents with vehicles. It also helps drivers anticipate pedestrian movement, as they expect to see people crossing at these marked locations. Additionally, using crosswalks promotes orderly traffic flow and reinforces the rules of the road for both pedestrians and drivers. Overall, adhering to this practice enhances safety and awareness in urban environments.
