Pedestrians shall be subject to traffic-control signals as declared in this traffic code, but, at all other places, pedestrians shall be granted those rights and be subject to the restrictions stated below.
(A) Pedestrian right-of-way in crosswalks. 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 yield to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger, but no pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb, or other place of safety, and walk or run into the path of a vehicle, which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
(B) Pedestrians shall yield when not within crosswalk. Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
(C) Where crosswalk use required. No person on foot shall walk, run or otherwise cross any portion or part of any city street other than at those designated pedestrian crosswalks. (Refer to § 70.01, definition of crosswalk.)
(D) Pedestrian traffic-control signal or device. No person shall cross any street within the city at which there is located a pedestrian traffic-control signal or device, except at a time and in a manner designated or indicated by such pedestrian traffic-control signal or device.
(E) Duty of drivers at crosswalk. When any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at an 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.
(F) Drivers to exercise due care. Notwith-standing the foregoing provisions of this section, every driver of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway and shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary and shall exercise proper precaution upon observing any child or any confused or incapacitated person upon a roadway.
