Driving Tip of The Month: Rules of the Road:
10.2 Right of Way
Where vehicles or pedestrians meet one another, and there are no signs or signals to regulate traffic, there are rules that say who must yield the right-of-way. These rules tell drivers who must go first and who must wait in different traffic situations.

The law states who must yield the right-of-way; it does not give anyone the right-of-way, even if your traffic signal is green. You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances.

PEDESTRIANS: When driving, you should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians under all conditions. Be particularly watchful for children, elderly and blind persons. Most blind persons are easily recognized by the white cane they carry and/or by their guide dog.

Pedestrians have the right-of-way at all intersections and crosswalks. Drivers must come to a complete stop and let the person pass safely.

Reminder to Pedestrians For safe walking, use sidewalks. When there is no sidewalk and it is necessary to walk in the street, walk on the left side, facing traffic. For more Safe Walking Tips, please refer to our Traffic Safety at Your School brochure.
