Pedestrians across our communities are directly impacted by the absence of laws requiring motorists to yield at crosswalks. Their safety and well-being are compromised daily due to the lack of legal protection.

The safety and lives of pedestrians are at stake. Without mandated yielding laws, accidents and injuries caused by motorists failing to yield continue to endanger pedestrians. Implementing this law can significantly reduce such risks and promote safer streets for everyone.

Now is the time to act decisively. With growing concerns about pedestrian safety, immediate action is crucial to prevent further harm. Enacting legislation to make it illegal for motorists to deny pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks is imperative for the well-being of our communities.
