WHAT RIGHTS DO PEDESTRIANS HAVE IN ALABAMA?

When filing a personal injury claim, it is critical to first know your rights. As a pedestrian, you have the following rights under Alabama law:

Right of way – Pedestrians have the right of way when crossing the street at marked or unmarked crosswalks. Motorists are required to yield to pedestrians.
Using the sidewalk – Pedestrians must use sidewalks when possible. But if no sidewalk exists, they are allowed to walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.
Crossing intersections – Pedestrians must obey traffic signals when crossing intersections, waiting for the “walk” signal.
School zones – Drivers are required to exercise special caution when encountering pedestrians in school zones, reducing their speed and yielding.
Special considerations – Drivers need to exercise caution when encountering children, the elderly, or the disabled, as these individuals usually take more time to cross the road.
Yielding when turning: Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians whenever making turns at intersections or driveways, allowing them sufficient time to cross the road before pulling out.
