(1) 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.
(2) Subsection
(1) of this section shall not apply under the conditions stated in GJMC §
10.04.803.
(3) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety
and ride a bicycle, ride an electrical assisted bicycle, ride an electric
scooter, walk, or run into the path of a moving vehicle that is so
close as to constitute an immediate hazard.
(4) 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.
(5) Whenever special pedestrian-control signals exhibiting “Walk”
or “Don’t Walk” word or symbol indications are in
place, as declared in the traffic control manual adopted by the Department
of Transportation, such signals shall indicate and require as follows:
(a) “Walk” (steady): While the “Walk” indication
is steadily illuminated, pedestrians facing such signal may proceed
across the roadway in the direction of the signal indication and shall
be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.
(b) “Don’t Walk” (steady): While the “Don’t
Walk” indication is steadily illuminated, no pedestrian shall
enter the roadway in the direction of the signal indication.
(c) “Don’t Walk” (flashing): Whenever the “Don’t
Walk” indication is flashing, no pedestrian shall start to cross
the roadway in the direction of such signal indication, but any pedestrian
who has partly completed crossing during the “Walk” indication
shall proceed to a sidewalk or to a safety island, and all drivers
of vehicles shall yield to any such pedestrian.
(d) Whenever a signal system provides for the stopping of all vehicular traffic and the exclusive movement of pedestrians and “Walk” and “Don’t Walk” signal indications control such pedestrian movement, pedestrians may cross in any direction between corners of the intersection offering the shortest route within the boundaries of the intersection while the “Walk” indication is exhibited, if signals and other official devices direct pedestrian movement in such manner consistent with GJMC §
10.04.803(4).

infraction.
