  1. The pedestrian will have the right of way.


  2. I drive past  a bike path crossing everyday that has stop signs for the pedestrian or bike rider. On Jan 16th I hit a gentleman on a bike who just flew right out into the street.

    The guy on the bike was ticketed and he is paying for the repairs to my car.

    Per the police officer who responded, If there are no crossing signals, it is the pedestrian's responsibility to cross safely in the cross walk when there is no immediate danger from vehicles. If a driver happens upon a person using the cross walk, they must yield until the person is out of the intersection.

    Just because there is a crosswalk doesn't give people the right to just run out into traffic.

    But of course, this is what I was told in NE.

  3. Pedestrian always has the right of way in a crosswalk.

    Think about the crosswalk as an automatic yield sign.

    The stop sign is just up there to keep the pedestrians from suing the city for designing a dangerous intersection.

  4. I agree with porkmore. I was told the same thing. If there is no signal, it is up to the pedestrian to cross when it is clear.
