Relates to a pedestrian's right of way
This bill amends New York's vehicle and traffic law to clarify when pedestrians have the right-of-way at intersections. It specifically requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks during steady green signals, flashing "DON'T WALK" signals, and yellow signals, and when turning right at red lights. The changes apply directly to pedestrians crossing streets and drivers operating vehicles at intersections with traffic signals or crosswalks. Key provisions include explicit language stating drivers must yield to pedestrians "within a marked or unmarked crosswalk" during specified signal phases.
