pedestrian right-of-way
Walker's legal precedence
Pedestrian right-of-way is the legal priority given to people on foot to cross or use a roadway before vehicles.
At crosswalks and intersections, drivers must yield to pedestrians who have the right-of-way: The car failed to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
Traffic laws vary by jurisdiction, but pedestrians generally have right-of-way at marked crossings and when crossing with a signal.
