In general, pedestrians do have the right of way in a parking lot. However, it is important for both pedestrians and drivers to be cautious and aware of their surroundings to prevent accidents.

Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections, as they are more vulnerable and need to cross safely. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and at intersections.
Pedestrians MUST look both ways before they cross streets, and NOT expect crosswalks to automatically protect them. Drivers OFTEN do not see pedestrians, and drivers do not often notice crosswalks. Drivers may be from out of town, or may not have driven on that particular street before. Pedestrians must not ASSUME that drivers will automatically stop for pedestrians at a crosswalk; and pedestrians must not ASSUME that drivers always see them.
The majority of drivers involved in collisions are typically found to be human error, such as distraction, speeding, impairment, or failure to follow traffic laws. These factors contribute to a significant number of accidents on the road.
When a bus stops off base, drivers are required to pass at a maximum speed of 5 kph (3 mph), which is equivalent to a typical walking pace. This speed limit is enforced to ensure the safety of passengers boarding or disembarking the bus. Adhering to this rule helps to prevent accidents and allows drivers to react quickly to any unexpected movements. It underscores the importance of vigilance and caution in areas where pedestrians may be present.
No, the majority of drivers involved in collisions do not necessarily have a good driving record. Accidents can happen to any driver, regardless of their past driving history. Factors such as road conditions, weather, and other external variables can also contribute to accidents.
In the Highway Transportation System (HTS), pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists are all integral components that contribute to the overall flow and safety of transportation. Pedestrians are individuals traveling on foot, often using sidewalks or crosswalks; drivers operate motor vehicles and must adhere to traffic laws; and cyclists use bicycles, sharing the road with both pedestrians and vehicles. Each group has specific rights and responsibilities to ensure safe and efficient movement within the transportation network. Cooperation among all users is essential for reducing accidents and enhancing mobility.
True. Traffic laws are designed with the safety and well-being of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians in mind. They aim to regulate behavior on the road, reduce accidents, and promote orderly traffic flow. By establishing rules, traffic laws help to create a safer driving environment for everyone.
The UK doesn't have 'states' but it does have counties. In March 2015, Lincolnshire was classifiedd as having the most dangerous roads, with the most drivers, passengers and pedestrians killed.
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.
