BETWEEN ADJACENT INTERSECTIONS AT WHICH A TRAFFIC
CONTROL SIGNAL IS IN OPERATION, A PEDESTRIAN MAY CROSS A
ROADWAY ONLY IN A MARKED CROSSWALK.
(D) CROSSING INTERSECTION DIAGONALLY.
A PEDESTRIAN MAY NOT CROSS A ROADWAY INTERSECTION
DIAGONALLY UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE
FOR CROSSING MOVEMENTS. IF AUTHORIZED TO CROSS
DIAGONALLY, A PEDESTRIAN MAY CROSS ONLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-503.
In subsections (a) and (b) of this section,
the reference to an "approaching" vehicle is
added for clarity. This conforms to the
similar references in Subtitle 4 of this title
and elsewhere in the Maryland Vehicle Law
(cf., e.g., §21-705 of this title).
The only other changes are in style.
21-504. DRIVERS TO EXERCISE DUE CARE.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS TITLE,
THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE SHALL:
(1) EXERCISE DUE CARE TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANY
PEDESTRIAN ON ANY ROADWAY;
(2) IF NECESSARY, WARN ANY PEDESTRIAN BY SOUNDING
THE HORN OF THE VEHICLE; AND
(3) EXERCISE PROPER PRECAUTION ON OBSERVING ANY
CHILD OR ANY OBVIOUSLY CONFUSED OR INCAPACITATED
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-504.
The only changes are in style.
The Commission recommends that the General
Assembly consider adopting the more recent
Uniform Vehicle Code version of this section
which, in 1971, was amended: (i) in its
counterpart to the introductory clause of this
section, to include a reference to "the
provisions of any local ordinance"; (ii) in
its counterpart to items (1) and (3) of this
section, to delete the phrase "on any
roadway"; and (iii) in its counterpart to item
(3) of this section, to refer also to an
"intoxicated" person.
21-505. PEDESTRIANS TO USE RIGHT HALF OF CROSSWALKS.
