Walk It Through: The Walk To The Bus

A countdown at the corner, a shortcut across the middle of the block, and a driver who sees a stopped car.

At the corner the hand is flashing, and the countdown shows a few seconds left.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One walk and one drive. School zones and pedestrian safety zones, a collision and who was at fault in it, and a crossing with a tunnel or bridge are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.

Words this turns on

Terms with a legal meaning that is narrower than the everyday one. Each links to the definition and the authority behind it.
