Pedestrian Crossings If any pedestrian is attempting to cross, vehicles must stop at any marked intersection with or without lights. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – visibility is restricted so assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians, PLEASE, use marked crosswalks and always operate the lights. You may think they’re silly, but you are helping to train drivers! After pedestrians clear the intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers to stop. WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN! Cyclists, please, use 2nd Ave/Van Horn bike routes. Cyclists have all responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping at stop signs! Cyclists also have all rights of motor vehicles. Drivers must provide 3’ clearance when passing a cyclist!
