To revise the rules for drivers yielding to pedestrians at an interchange. The bill would establish that where there is no traffic signal drivers must yield to “a pedestrian within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling or is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.” The bill would also make it unlawful for a pedestrian to “suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield”.
Referred to the Committee on Transportation
