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. [2]
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.

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]
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.
This means pedestrians legally have the right of way even when not using a marked crosswalk. “Basically what the law’s saying is we can’t cite you.” Santillano James said.
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).
The UML notation and semantics are really geared toward computerized UML tools. A UML state machine, as represented in a tool, is not just the state diagram, but rather a mixture of graphical and textual representation that precisely captures both the state topology and the actions.
Traffic lights – devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations – control flows of traffic with social norms and laws created by the state. [1] Traffic signals have to convey messages to drivers in a short period of time about constantly-changing road rules. [2]
