Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalk
A revised law, effective April 1, 2010, requiring drivers to come to a complete stop and remain stopped as soon as a pedestrian enters a crosswalk. Prior to this legislative change, drivers were only mandated to yield, an ambiguous direction authorities say led to one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the nation. Motorists violating the new law face a $200 fine (double the current fine), plus court costs, and 2 points on their license. They can also be subject to 15 days of community service and insurance surcharges.
