Florida Laws Protecting Pedestrians
Florida Statute 316.130 outlines protections for pedestrians crossing the street. As is the case in other states across the nation, pedestrians have the right of way when the traffic control signal indicates that they are permitted to cross the street. Any vehicles waiting at the intersection must wait for the pedestrian to at least exit the half of the roadway the vehicle is traveling on before driving forwards. At crossing points where there are no traffic control signals, drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians using a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the same half of the roadway the vehicle is traveling on.
