XII. Rights of Pedestrians

The Minnesota traffic law provides
that vehicles shall yield the right-of-
way to pedestrians at any regular
cross walk or extension of the side
walk, except where traffic is con-
trolled by traffic officers or traffic
control devices.
This is not new law, although it
is the first time it has been put
into the statutes. Common law
gave pedestrians the right of way
at all places. The new statute re-
quires them to yield the right of
way to vehicles, in the business and
residence districts, at all places ex-
cept at the regular crossings.
Legally, motorists should stop or
slow down to let pedestrians cross
at the crossings, and pedestrians
should cross at other places only
when there is no oncoming vehicle.
For safety's sake, however, both
should do a little more than the law
requires. Pedestrians should look
both ways at crossings, and motor
lists should keep their eyes open in
the middle of the block as well as
at the crossings.

OBEY TRAFFIC LAW;
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
x. ~" Turns

Making a turn in the middle of
the block is no longer forbidden
by state law, but it is forbidden by
ordinance in many cities. Making
81" turns at intersections is also
forbidden in many places but these
are usually marked.
Before making "U" turns, be
sure first that there is no local or
dinance against it, then see that it
can be done safely. On side
street it is sometimes safer to make
a turn in the middle of the block
than to go to an intersection with
a heavily travelled thoroughfare.
But where there is even moderate
traffic, ~" turns should be avoided,
both at crossings and in the middle
of the block. In heavy traffic the
only safe way is to go around the
block.
