All roadway markings such as double yellow centerlines, roadway edge markings, intersection markings, crosswalks, stop lines, and arrows on City streets and in our right of way. The owner of the shopping center or private parking lot is responsible for those markings. At any crosswalk, marked or not, drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Crosswalks are used mainly to encourage pedestrians to use a particular crossing area at the intersection. At intersections where there is a substantial conflict between vehicle and pedestrian traffic, such as school crossings and signalized intersections.
Research suggests that a crosswalk gives a pedestrian a false sense of security.
They often step off of the curb expecting the vehicle to stop and the driver fails to stop, resulting in an accident. At any crosswalk, marked or unmarked, the pedestrian is responsible to be cautious and alert before crossing the street. On City property we would maintain or mark a new handicap access spot. On private property or in a parking lot the lot owner would have that responsibility. Yes, even for just a minute to run into a business and can result in a substantial fine to the violator.
