Kentucky Pedestrian Laws
Kentucky law is designed to protect motorists and pedestrians on our state’s roadways. Some pedestrian traffic laws that you should be familiar with include:
- Pedestrians shall obey traffic signs, signals, and markings unless otherwise instructed by a police officer or other officially designated person
- Drivers should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the roadway
- Drivers should not try to pass vehicles stopped yielding at a marked or unmarked crosswalk
- Drivers must always yield to pedestrians on sidewalks (such as entering or exiting driveways or parking lots)
These are just a few of the rules that govern how drivers and pedestrians share the road in Kentucky. If you’ve been struck by any type of vehicle, our lawyers can review your case and help determine your legal rights.
