If they are on the sidewalk at the curb facing in the direction to cross the street, you need to wait for them to cross first if that is their intention. I waited two seconds in order to determine if they wanted to cross. When no one stepped off the curb, I assumed they did not want to cross the street which turned out to be the wrong assumption since it turned out they just weren't paying attention to the signal. They only realized the signal had changed AFTER I STARTED TURNING AND THEN THEY CUT ME OFF FORCING ME TO STOP. The pedestrians were clearly wrong in this instance.If they are on the curb, no foot on the crosswalk, you go make your turn. If one or both feet are on the crosswalk, you must yield the right-of-way, unless they tell you to pass and it is clear they don't want to cross until you go first. By a pedestrian using hand or voice actions to signal the driver that the driver goes first, they are giving up the right-of-way. Me, I kinda insist that they cross but it depends on who is behind me. If nobody is behind me, I tell them to cross first (safely, of course). |
