With schools across the City in full swing, it’s important for all community members and visitors to be aware of pedestrians at crosswalks!
Both drivers and bicycles need to follow the Ann Arbor Pedestrian Safety in Crosswalks Ordinance: at a crosswalk, motorists are required to stop and yield the right-of-way to every pedestrian at the curb, or within the crosswalk.
Pedestrians also play an important role in creating a culture of safety in Ann Arbor! The ordinance requires that pedestrians shall not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into a path of a vehicle that is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
Together, all community members and visitors can make this fall safer by being aware at crosswalks!
