At signalized intersections, crosswalks may have pedestrian signals which display symbols to mandate when pedestrians may cross the street. State road rules in the United States usually require a driver to yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing a road when the pedestrian crosses at a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk.

The UML specification [1] prescribes that a transition involves exiting all nested states from the current active state (which might be a direct or transitive substate of the main source state) up to, but not including, the least common ancestor (LCA) state of the main source and main target states. As the name indicates, the LCA is the lowest ...
11th edition of the MUTCD, published December 2023. In the United States, road signs are, for the most part, standardized by federal regulations, most notably in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and its companion volume the Standard Highway Signs (SHS).
Pedestrians have the right-of-way inside crosswalks, provided they follow traffic signals. They may walk when the light tells them to and cannot when it is blinking yellow.
Crossing laws vary between different states and provinces and sometimes at the local level. [42] All U.S. states require vehicles to yield to a pedestrian who has entered a marked crosswalk, and in most states crosswalks exist at all intersections meeting at approximately right angles, whether they are marked or not.

Here are California’s pedestrian laws, including what drivers and pedestrians are responsible for when sharing the road: Who has the right of way in California?
In 2014, two Oregon state representatives secured funding for flashing beacons to enhance safety for pedestrians at 18 of east Portland's most dangerous intersections. [9] PBOT has conducted crosswalk stings along 82nd Avenue to improve pedestrian safety. [10] Improved crosswalks are being installed along the corridor, as of 2024. [11]
It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.
