  1. Dallas Pedestrian Right-Of-Way Laws You Need To Know

  2. Pedestrian Accident No one should ever have to worry about getting struck by a vehicle when they are walking around the roadways of Dallas. However, pedestrian accidents are not uncommon in this area.

  3. According to the latest reporting year of data from the Texas Department of Transportation, there were nearly 6,000 total pedestrian crashes. Out of these incidents, there were: 01 02 1,260 suspected serious injuries 660 fatalities 2,095 non-incapacitating injuries 03 04 1,954 possible injuries

  4. Does A Pedestrian Have The Right-of-way? If you are driving a vehicle, it is a good rule of thumb to understand that pedestrians generally have the right-of-way in most situations. If you are a pedestrian in or around the roadway, this should not mean that you have free reign to do what you want. You still need to take precautions, as a collision with a vehicle can cause serious injuries or death, as indicated by the statistics above.

  5. Control Signal Present If a traffic control signal displaying the words “walk,” “don’t walk,” or “wait” is present, the control sign tells you everything you need to know. Pedestrians that have the “walk” signal may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal, and all vehicles need to yield to the pedestrian.

  6. At a Crosswalk There may be times when the pedestrian has a marked crosswalk but there is no crossing light in place. Operators of a vehicle are required to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway in a marked crosswalk.

  7. Sidewalk Usage If a vehicle is emerging into traffic from an alley, private roadway, driveway, or building, they need to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian approaching on any sidewalk.
