pedestrian rights

Walker legal safeguards

Pedestrian rights are the legal protections and privileges afforded to people traveling on foot.

These include the right of way at crosswalks, protection from vehicular traffic, and access to sidewalks and public pathways.

Pedestrian rights activists pushed for safer crossings near the school.

The term appears in traffic law, urban planning, and advocacy for walkable cities.
