Pedestrians in crosswalks:
100 Mile House RCMP wish to remind members of the community that pedestrians have the right of way when crossing a street while engaged in an active crosswalk. We have received several reports, particularly along First Street and Highway 97 / Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House, that pedestrians are crossing the street on their rightful walk signal and have nearly been struck by motorists turning onto that portion of the highway or avenue. It is best practice for driver’s making the turn with pedestrians in the crosswalk to wait until the pedestrian reaches the other sidewalk or at the very least wait until the pedestrian clears the driver’s portion of the road before proceeding. A driver could face motor vehicle act offences or worse in the event of an investigation finding them at fault for their actions.
In the case of “jaywalking”, or a pedestrian crossing the street while not at a crosswalk, the pedestrian should yield the right of way to the vehicle, but there are lots occasions when locals will pause to let pedestrians cross in-between intersections, especially in 100 Mile. The pedestrian should avoid these occasions and use the appropriate crosswalks. It is important as a driver that you exercise caution to avoid collisions with pedestrians who are on the road(s), period. The chance of injuring another person by not driving responsibly should be paramount in a driver’s mind as they commute through our neighborhoods, just as a pedestrian should limit the chance of their personal safety being put at risk.
