Another example, A month or so ago I went to the downtown staples for
printer supplies, on coming out I have to cross a busy 6 lane street, As
I am waiting for the red light to turn green a woman texting on her
phone starts walking across the street against the red light and very
nearly got hit by a car who had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting
her.

pedestrians have the right of way. if said driver had to 'slam on his
brakes' to avoid a collision, then it's the driver who is at fault for
not paying attention.

Pedestrians do NOT have the right of way against a red light at a
traffic light controlled intersection!!! Where in hell did you get that
idea.

the motor vehicle code.

although, anyone stepping in front of a moving vehicle does so only
once. it's a problem that solves itself.


Show me your proof.

marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall
reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to
the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of

signals are not in place or in operation, the driver of a vehicle
shall stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the
roadway within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with no
marked crosswalk. The driver must remain stopped until the pedestrian
has passed the lane in which the vehicle is stopped. No pedestrian
shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run
into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible
for the driver to yield. This provision shall not apply under the
conditions as otherwise provided in this subdivision.

Subd. 3.Crossing between intersections.
(d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section every driver
of a vehicle shall (1) exercise due care to avoid colliding with any

right-of-way to pedestrians in the crosswalk. (Sec. 1151).
€ In addition, every driver approaching an intersection or crosswalk,
must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian accompanied by a guide
dog or using a white or metallic cane (Sec. 1153).
What if there is no crosswalk?
€ If there is no crosswalk, a pedestrian must yield the right-of-way
to all vehicles on the roadway (Sec. 1152).
What about sidewalks?
€ The driver of a vehicle when entering or exiting from an alleyway,
building, private road or driveway, must yield the right-of-way to
any pedestrian on a sidewalk. (Sec. 1151-a).

(1) The operator of an approaching vehicle shall stop and remain
stopped to allow a pedestrian or bicycle to cross the roadway within
an unmarked or marked crosswalk when the pedestrian or bicycle is
upon or within one lane of the half of the roadway upon which the
vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning. For purposes of
this section "half of the roadway" means all traffic lanes carrying
traffic in one direction of travel, and includes the entire width of
a one-way roadway.


Your proof does not fit the situation that I saw, What I am saying is an
intersection with traffic lights not just a crosswalk but regular Red,
yellow and green lights and Walk and Don't walk lights for pedestrians.
There, that's fairly easy to understand.
