Case law annotation–Even with the right-of-way, a pedestrian
must use due care when crossing a street. Lofland v. Jackson, 237
S.W. 2d 785 (Ct. Civ. App. 1950).
(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.
(c)
Between any adjacent intersections at which traffic-control signals
are in operation, pedestrians shall not cross at any place except
in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(d)
No pedestrian shall cross or use the vehicular traffic lanes of any
freeway. This provision shall not apply to an employee of a governmental
unit, agency, or subdivision, nor a contractor of such governmental
unit, agency, or subdivision, who is engaged in the discharge of official
duties. Nor shall this provision apply in emergency situations or
to persons lawfully participating in parades, demonstrations, or recreational
street uses that are duly permitted under this chapter.
