No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other
place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is
so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.

Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk
or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian
to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching
from the rear shall not overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.

Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other
than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at

for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway.

precaution upon observing any child or any confused or incapacitated
person upon a roadway.
