You're assuming a significant collision possibility, right?Is there any such qualification in the cited statute that limits the a pedestrian's expectation for having the right of way within the crosswalk with a walk aspect? You are not saying that a right-turning vehicle has to stop because a pedestrian stepped off the curb all the way on the other side of the crosswalk (farthest from the car) right? First, the statute also includes left turning vehicles. The question is whether the driver will in any way limit the pedestrian from exercising his right of way. Should there not be sufficient room for the vehicle to fully clear the crosswalk, then the only way for the driver tin guarantee the pedestrian's right of way would be to stop before entering the crosswalk. |
