A 3,000 pound Vehicle can do a lot of damage to a human body, even going as slow as 5mph.
Per Phoenix Law Group, drivers must always yield to pedestrians even when pedestrians aren't following the rules. This applies to Pedestrians who are using a designated crosswalk as well as unmarked crossings.
Drivers need to yield before turning left or right.
Pedestrians must yield the right-of-way to vehicles when crossing outside of a crosswalk.
Pedestrians should walk facing traffic when there is no sidewalk.
Pedestrians should not walk distracted anymore than a driver should drive distracted. Phones down and if you are listening to music, it must be low enough to hear what is going on around you.
Jay walking is not permitted in the state of Arizona.
Pedestrians should always assume that drivers will not see them and walk accordingly. Meaning being alert, watching and listening to what is going on around you as you cross.
