(a) When traffic control signals are not in place or not in operation the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of- way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
(b) Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.
(c) Whenever stop signs or flashing red signals are in place at an intersection on or at a plainly marked crosswalk between intersections, pedestrians shall have the right-of- way as follows:
(1) Drivers of vehicles shall stop before entering the intersection or crosswalk and pedestrians within or entering the crosswalk or intersection at either edge of the roadway shall have the right-of-way over vehicles as stopped.
(2) Drivers of vehicles shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection.
(d) Pedestrians' right-of-way on sidewalks. The driver of a vehicle emerging from or entering an alley, building, private road or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian approaching on any sidewalk or any sidewalk area extending across such alley, building entrance, road or driveway.
