Pennsylvania Pedestrian Law
Pennsylvania pedestrian laws are designed to ensure the safety of all who use the roads. Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, as well as at intersections with lights. When pedestrians are crossing roads outside of crosswalks, they must yield the right-of-way to all motor vehicles on the road, regardless of the perceived speed of the motor vehicle. Finally, when pedestrians are walking on roads that don’t have sidewalks, the law states they must walk against the flow of traffic.
