What is true regarding pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections?

Pedestrians have the right of way at all crosswalks, whether they are marked or unmarked. This means that drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians who are crossing the road at these designated points. The purpose of this rule is to enhance the safety of pedestrians, ensuring they can cross streets with a reasonable expectation of protection from vehicles.

Marked crosswalks provide clear visual guidance and indicate where pedestrians are expected to cross, while unmarked crosswalks, typically found at intersections, are still recognized as legal crossing points. This right-of-way applies universally to all pedestrians regardless of specific markings or conditions, focusing primarily on their safety and mobility within the roadway environment.
