FAQ
Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop well back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles an opportunity to see the crossing pedestrians so they can stop too. Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. There may be people crossing where you can't see.
(a) Where sidewalks are provided and they may be used with safety it shall be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway. (b) Where sidewalks are not provided, pedestrians walking along a roadway shall walk only on the left side of the roadway or its shoulder facing approaching traffic.
Specifically, when pedestrians are crossing within designated crosswalks or at intersections with pedestrian signals, vehicles must yield to them.
Before you enter a street, stop at the curb. Look at your left-right-left directions before enter a street. Remember to walk on sidewalk. In the absence of sidewalk, walk down while facing the road traffic. Roads must be crossed only at marked crosswalks.
Pedestrians have the right of way in all crosswalks and at intersections with marked or unmarked crosswalks. If an intersection is equipped with a pedestrian traffic signal, they should cross during the “Walk” phase of the signal.
Wait until traffic has stopped from both directions or the road is clear before crossing. Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing. Drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing (see Rule H2).
Walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible. Cross streets at crosswalks or intersections. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
Pedestrian Crossing is the predefined pathway designated for people to cross on the other side of the road. These are provided either at the intersection or at a mid-block section where supposedly the number of people gathering to cross is large. These crossings can be either controlled or uncontrolled.
Drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing (see Rule H2).
Parking or standing is not allowed: Within 20 feet (6 m) of a crosswalk at an intersection. Within 30 feet (10 m) of a traffic light, STOP sign or YIELD sign.

If there is a crosswalk at a location where there are no traffic control signals for drivers or pedestrians, drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians. No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of such signal, but pedestrians who have partially completed their crossing on the or flashing.When a pedestrian is crossing at an unmarked crosswalk, the driver must yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian. In certain situations, a pedestrian has the right of way in New York. The law in the state says that at crosswalks, pedestrians always have the right of way. If a road has a sidewalk that is safe to use, pedestrians are required to use it. (a) Where sidewalks are provided and they may be used with safety it shall be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway. Pedestrians must use the sidewalk if it is present and safe to do so on a road. The New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws Section 1151 makes it clear that even if there isn't a traffic signal present, those on foot have the right of way. However, there are limits on when and where pedestrians have the right of way.
