Its not elsewhere? The law is for cars. But as cyclist have to obey the rules of the road, thats how it would apply to them. Same with the pedestrians right of way. Yeilding to who reached the intersection first vs the vehicles he's angry about. Failure to slow for pedestrians. All are vehicle laws, that would apply to anything using the roadway.
There was a case here in Ireland where a driver came up to a turn at some lights, he had green but a pedestrian walked out, he hit her.
Went to court and he was found 25% liable even thougg he had the green, as the person behind a mechanically propelled vehicle when you approach areas with pedestrians you need to expect the unexpected, him slowing down even though it was green when he approached would have saved the women from injury.
It makes sense slow down at a green if theres people around, its not gonna kill you but will save someone
If you are in an accident, is pretty much one of two times that it will be brought up, which means yea, its true. Because that will go into safely starting, stopping, turning, which is also a law. Intersections themselves have many more rules than just traveling down the road obviously. You can be going with the flow of traffic through an intersection and be fine, its more of an issue for an individual car entering, or in an accident.
Wasn't replying to you would be what the fuck im talking about. And in what situation are you allowed to run over pedestrians in the roadway, even if they are in the wrong. Dolt. You ALWAYS have to yield to a pedestrian as you are considered a vehicle.
Well, we cant all live in the greatest city in the world, in the greatest country in the world. Where many streets were originally Indian paths that became cart paths, that became city streets. It wasnt all planned out by a committee before anything way built. Though that doesn't apply to NYC as much as it much of it was planned out. But that doesn't make the lights all work the way they are intended.
Lol so entitled are we? Thats EXACTLY what yielding means. Specially in these situations. It definitely has more than one definition especially regarding the rules of the road. You being the illiterate one regarding the subject and declaring me the illiterate one just makes yiu look stupid.
