🚶‍♀️ MYTH vs. FACT 🚶‍♂️
❌ Myth: Crosswalks only exist where you see painted lines on the road.
âś… Fact: Crosswalks legally exist at virtually every intersection, whether pavement markings are present or not.
Many drivers mistakenly assume pedestrians only have the right-of-way in marked crosswalks. The reality is that unmarked crosswalks exist where sidewalks meet at intersections, and pedestrians may still have the legal right to cross.
Knowing the rules helps keep everyone safer—drivers, walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.
Slow down. Stay alert. Look twice.
Together, we can prevent avoidable crashes and save lives.
