the motor vehicle code.

Not in my state (AZ/US):

(d) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal as
provided in section 28-646, a pedestrian facing a steady red signal
alone shall not enter the roadway.

yes in your state:

28-792. Right-of-way at crosswalk
A. Except as provided in section 28-793, subsection B, if traffic
control signals are not in place or are not in operation, the driver
of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping
if need be in order to yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway
within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway
on 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. A pedestrian shall not suddenly leave any curb or other
place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so
close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.


What part of "traffic control signals" don't you understand?

what part of not hitting someone is not clear?

if there are traffic lights, drivers need to obey those too.

but go ahead, don't yield to pedestrians and see how well that works
out for you.


The driver was obeying his green light and proceeding through the
intersection, The girl was DISOBEYING her red light and stepped onto the
street when the car was only a few feet away. How was he supposed to
stop in about 5 feet?
Do you think he has magic brakes with Instant stop? Or are you too
stubborn to understand ?
