Do you stop for a person in the cross walk?The walks that are not by the lights?

I only stop for pedestrians that are in a cross-walk. I don't think pedestrians should get special favors for not following traffic rules. Of course, if they insist on walking out in front of me, I do stop. I wouldn't hit one. That's one of my pet peeves though. Why can't you walk 8 feet down the street to go through the cross walk where there is most likely a light, rather than try to run across the middle? It seems to me that it would be a lot safer for everyone if pedestrians would follow the rules too. (I'm keeping in mind that not all drivers follow the laws either). :o)

If I am driving in a city (Boston), the pedestrian is expected to obey the sign of when to walk and when to stop. Going through town, I would expect that people would use a crosswalk, and I typically wont stop for someone not using the crosswalk. I always stop for people in the crosswalk. If I am in a neighborhood, I go very slow because of children and pets. I would always stop in that setting. Thanks!

I think that 90% of people that drive today thinks that the road only belongs to them. They have no respect for other users. I live in the country and see this everyday. And yes a lot of people do not stop for pedestrians,i always do! Maby the ones not stopping should try to cross a crosswalk then they wouldn`t be in such a hurry to get nowhere. If you cant` find 1 minute in your day to do something good whats the point? Just because you stop for someone crossing the street you are not going to loose that much time and maby you might gain more respect for people! The worl would br a little bit better,don`t you Think?

I most definetly do! I figure they're on foot and I'm in a car just sitting. I like when people stop and let me go, especially if it's raining. It also takes longer to get places on foot, rather than a car and people always seem to be in a hurry! Good Question!
