FAQ
California Pedestrian Right Of Way Traffic Laws If there's a crosswalk (those white lines painted on the road for people to walk across), cars have to stop and let people cross. This is true even if there's no stop sign or traffic light. If there's no crosswalk, pedestrians still have the right of way at intersections.
The right-of-way can vary significantly by jurisdiction, meaning what's true in San Francisco, California, might not hold in another state. This can include differences in how pedestrians are treated at crosswalks, the responsibilities of drivers, and even the definition of jaywalking.
Pedestrians have the right of way in Virginia in many different situations. Under Va. Code § 46.2-924, drivers must yield to any pedestrian that is crossing a public street or highway at any: Clearly marked crosswalk, regardless of whether the crosswalk is located at the end of the block or in the middle of the block.
Legal Info Pedestrians do not always have the right of way in Virginia. Code § 46.2-924 affords protections to pedestrians but also enforces specific rules when crosswalks and sidewalks are present.
§ 46.2-820. Right-of-way at uncontrolled intersections, generally. Except as otherwise provided in this article, when two vehicles approach or enter an uncontrolled intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
The driver of any vehicle on a highway shall yield the right-of-way to anypedestrian crossing such highway: 1. At any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of anyblock; 2.
Under Virginia law, pedestrians must use crosswalks when they are available, and motorists must yield to pedestrians in any marked or unmarked crosswalk. Due to this law, many people think that pedestrians always have the right-of-way, and when a driver hits someone on foot, the motorist is always to blame.
Pedestrians are assumed to follow traffic safety rules to keep themselves safe and to keep other occupants of the road safe. When there is an accident and the pedestrian was following the rules, the person who did not follow the rules is found liable and is responsible for damages caused by their negligence.
§ 46.2-821. Vehicles before entering certain highways shall stop or yield right-of-way.
No pedestrian shall step into a highway open to moving vehicular traffic at any point between intersections where his presence would be obscured from the vision of drivers of approaching vehicles by a vehicle or other obstruction at the curb or side.
