§ 29-333. Right-of-way at crosswalks.

Latest version.

(a)

When traffic-control signals are not in place or not in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk, when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger; but no pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.

(b)

Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, no driver of another vehicle approaching from the rear shall overtake and pass such vehicle.
