At which locations are drivers required to yield to pedestrians?

Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians at all marked or unmarked crosswalks to ensure the safety of individuals crossing the road. This rule is in place regardless of whether the crosswalk has been painted on the pavement or not, emphasizing the responsibility of drivers to be vigilant and cautious around pedestrian traffic at all times. This requirement helps protect pedestrians in various situations, not just limited to specific areas or conditions.

While marked crosswalks are clearly defined spaces where pedestrians are expected to cross, unmarked crosswalks are often found at intersections and are recognized by the legal obligation that drivers must yield to pedestrians. This rule reinforces the principle that pedestrians have the right of way, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and promoting safer roadways for everyone.
