 | | I stepped onto the road, fully intending to cross, when a silver Jetta cut in front of me. It happened so fast, I couldn't stop, and before I knew it I had walked into the Jetta. |
 | | Section 7.73.02 of this code states "the vehicle shall 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." But not everyone crosses the road within the crosswalk, or even at a traffic light. |
 | | This just proves that everyone should be careful where he crosses, when he crosses, how fast he drives and everyone should keep an eye out for a biker darting in front of a car, or a bus turning the corner where you're crossing the street. |
