Pedestrian safety

[HillStreetBlues]

Ah, I misunderstood the new rules, thanks for that. I was under the impression that motorists had to yield the entire roadway (rather than just the one direction of travel, as previously the case) at all crosswalks. Instead, it's just at "crossovers."

I'm still not confident I know what a "crossover" is, though.

As someone who travels on foot in Hamilton, I'll continue operating under the assumption that any nincompoop who could get approved for credit enough to buy a car is above the law, and any misconceptions I have about having the right of way are always incorrect. But it's nice to know what the rules are for when I'm visiting more civilized parts of Ontario.
