Sidewalk Safety for Yourself and Others
The Mammoth Lakes Police Department would like to share an important reminder regarding sidewalk safety via the California Vehicle Code. It is a myth that pedestrians have the immediate right-of-way at a crosswalk. If you enter the crosswalk without looking or taking your own safety into consideration (i.e. walking blindly into the path of a vehicle), you have not established your right-of-way nor have you practiced self-preservation. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC), pedestrians need to stop at the entrance to the crosswalk, look, and establish their right to cross before proceeding. Establishing your right-of-way means you arrived at the crosswalk first and clearly indicated your intention to cross. Make sure drivers see you (think eye contact or a wave) and make sure you stay in the crosswalk. Once you walk outside of the crosswalk, you are no longer protected by the vehicle code in the same manner. Drivers don’t think you’re off the hook here. The CVC says you must fully STOP at a stop sign and scan for other vehicles and/or pedestrians waiting to cross. Whoever arrives first, whether vehicle or pedestrian, gets the right-of-way to cross first. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. Look to your right and that vehicle goes first.
