At intersections without marked crosswalks, who has the right-of-way?

In situations at intersections without marked crosswalks, pedestrians have the right-of-way. This means that drivers are required to yield to pedestrians who are crossing the roadway. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians, as they are more vulnerable than vehicles and require protection while crossing streets.

The legal expectation is for cars, whether turning or going straight, to watch for pedestrians and allow them to cross safely, even when there are no marked crosswalks. Therefore, regardless of vehicle size or type, including cars, bicycles, or large trucks, the priority is always given to pedestrians in such scenarios. This principle helps to minimize accidents and promotes safer interactions between pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
