Document:
Yesterday evening I read a news story about a tragic accident in Utah involving a motorcyclist hitting a 6-year-old boy (click here to read). As a car accident lawyer, I frequently come across news stories like these, but they don’t get easier to read, and they’re never anything but heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the child’s family and loved ones.
If there is a sidewalk you should use it; do not walk in the road! Utah Code § 41-6a-1009(1).
If there is not a sidewalk, you should be on the shoulder as far away from the road as possible. Utah Code 41-6a-1009(2).
If you cross in the middle of a block, you are required to yield the right of way to vehicles operating properly on the street. Utah Code § 41-6a-1003(2); Utah Code § 41-6a-1009(6).
You are required to obey all traffic-control devices specifically applicable to you. Utah Code § 41-6a-1001.
You should not run or dart across the street ever, especially when cars are nearby. Utah Code § 41-6a-1002(1)(a).
When pulling and/or backing out of your driveway, you are required to stop your vehicle immediately prior to crossing the sidewalk and check your surroundings. Utah Code § 41-6a-907; Utah Code § 41-6a-1008.
You are required to yield the right of way to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Utah Code § 41-6a-1002(1)(a).
