Failing to yield for a pedestrian is an infraction, and the MAXIMUM fine for an infraction in CA is $250. However, unless this was an aggravated case (where, say, the pedestrian was struck by the car), the fine would probably be much less. The bad news is that the State has imposed so-called penalties and assessments on top of the base fine, which roughly triples the amount. So if the Court fines you $100, you will pay about $300.
You should always yield to pedestrian traffic - stop the car while he crosses the street..
The fine is $393.60. This is a violation of Georgia law 46-6-91(a). The pedestrian always has the right of way in Georgia, so it does not matter if this is your first citation.
A yield street sign looks like an upside down isoceles triangle.
No, it is an infraction.

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.
As listed below, a pedestrian does not always have right of way. They must also yield right of way to vehicles. CHAPTER 552. PEDESTRIANS 552.002. PEDESTRIAN RIGHT-OF-WAY IF CONTROL SIGNAL PRESENT. (a) A pedestrian control signal displaying "Walk," "Don't Walk," or "Wait" applies to a pedestrian as provided by this section. (b) A pedestrian facing a "Walk" signal may proceed across a roadway in the direction of the signal, and the operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian. (c) A pedestrian may not start to cross a roadway in the direction of a "Don't Walk" signal or a "Wait" signal. A pedestrian who has partially crossed while the "Walk" signal is displayed shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety island while the "Don't Walk" signal or "Wait" signal is displayed. Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, effective. Sept. 1, 1995. 552.003. PEDESTRIAN RIGHT-OF-WAY AT CROSSWALK. (a) The operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing a roadway in a crosswalk if: (1) no traffic control signal is in place or in operation; and (2) the pedestrian is: (A) on the half of the roadway in which the vehicle is traveling; or (B) approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. (b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a pedestrian may not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and proceed into a crosswalk in the path of a vehicle so close that it is impossible for the vehicle operator to yield. (c) The operator of a vehicle approaching from the rear of a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to cross a roadway may not pass the stopped vehicle. Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, effective. Sept. 1, 1995. 552.005. CROSSING AT POINT OTHER THAN CROSSWALK. (a) A pedestrian shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle on the highway if crossing a roadway at a place: (1) other than in a marked crosswalk or in an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection; or (2) where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided. (b) Between adjacent intersections at which traffic control signals are in operation, a pedestrian may cross only in a marked crosswalk. (c) A pedestrian may cross a roadway intersection diagonally only if and in the manner authorized by a traffic control device.
You must give the right of way to a pedestrian when they are crossing the street at a crosswalk or intersection, regardless of whether there is a traffic signal or stop sign present. It is important to always yield to pedestrians to ensure their safety.
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.
Retaking a driver's exam depends on a variety of things. Not yielding for a pedestrian will probably get you a demerit on your score / report card. Since it is about $120 per yield violation in New Jersey, for example, one would think the answer is yes.
Drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians using the crosswalk in all situations, as pedestrians have the right of way when crossing the street at a designated crosswalk.
According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles Right-of-Way at Crosswalks21950. (a) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.(b) This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of using due care for his or her safety. No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.(c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.(d) Subdivision (b) does not relieve a driver of a vehicle from the duty of exercising due care for the safety of any pedestrian within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.Amended Sec. 8, Ch. 833, Stats. 2000. Effective January 1, 2001.Pedestrians Outside Crosswalks21954. (a) Every pedestrian upon a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway so near as to constitute an immediate hazard.(b) The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of a vehicle from the duty to exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian upon a roadway.Amended Ch. 1015, Stats. 1971.

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.
A driver must always yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian at crosswalks and intersections.
