Pedestrians shall be subject to traffic control signals as heretofore declared in Sections 315.060 and 315.070 of this Title, but at all other places pedestrians shall be granted those rights and be subject to the restrictions stated in this Chapter.
A.
When traffic control signals are not in place or not
in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way,
slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing
the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half
of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian
is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as
to be in danger.
B.
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.
D.
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.
Pedestrians shall move, whenever practicable,
upon the right half of crosswalks.
No pedestrian shall cross a roadway at any place
other than by a route at right angles to the curb or by the shortest
route to the opposite curb except in a crosswalk.
A.
Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other
than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at
an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon
the roadway.
B.
Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where
a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided
shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
A.
Between adjacent intersections at which traffic control
signals are in operation, pedestrians shall not cross at any place
except in a crosswalk.
B.
No pedestrian shall cross a roadway other than in
a crosswalk in any business district.
C.
No pedestrian shall cross a roadway other than in
a crosswalk upon any street designated by ordinance.
D.
No pedestrian shall cross a roadway intersection diagonally
unless authorized by official traffic control devices and, when authorized
to cross diagonally, pedestrians shall cross only in accordance with
the official traffic control devices pertaining to such crossing movements.
No pedestrian shall pass through, around, over
or under any crossing gate or barrier at a railroad grade crossing
or bridge when such gate or barrier is closed or is being opened or
closed.
A.
Where sidewalks are provided, it shall be unlawful
for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway.
B.
Where sidewalks are not provided, any pedestrian walking
along and upon a highway shall, when practicable, walk only on the
left side of the roadway or its shoulder facing traffic which may
approach from the opposite direction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Title, every driver of a vehicle shall exercise the highest degree
of care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway and
shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary and shall exercise
proper precaution upon observing any child or any confused or incapacitated
person upon a roadway.
The operator of a motor vehicle overtaking a bicycle proceeding in the same direction on the roadway, as defined in Section 300.010, shall leave a safe distance when passing the bicycle, and shall maintain clearance until safely past the overtaken bicycle.
