FAQ
New York State law requires you to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk, even when the pedestrian isn't in your lane. You must stay stopped until the pedestrian has finished crossing the side of the road onto which you're turning. Don't bully pedestrians with your vehicle. They have the right of way.
Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals. Walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible. Cross streets at crosswalks or intersections.
Pedestrians have the right of way in all crosswalks and at intersections with marked or unmarked crosswalks. If an intersection is equipped with a pedestrian traffic signal, they should cross during the “Walk” phase of the signal.

Each state in the U.S. has its own set of regulations governing pedestrian right-of-way. For example, California law states that drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
All states except Maine and Michigan require vehicles to yield to a pedestrian who has entered an unmarked crosswalk. To gain the right-of-way in some parts of Canada, however, the pedestrian holds out his hand in a position much like that used to shake hands, and steps off the curb.
