      <![CDATA[Mr Merc,<br>
<br>
Assuming the cost of auto body work, you'd be advised to slow down even if you are doing Darwin's work. Well that and the propensity of Memphians to pack heat.

      <![CDATA[In all honesty, I do stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. However, if you simply try to amble across the street where there isn't a crosswalk, I will not slow down.

      <![CDATA[Basically the state law states that if a pedestrian is in a crosswalk where traffic controls are not in place or not working, then the driver of a car must slow down or stop to yield if the pedestrian is on their half of the road (TCA 55-8-134). <br>
Of course, you cannot jaywalk per TCA 55-8-134/ TCA 55-8-135.<br>
So if the crosswalk is at a stop light, then the pedestrian has to wait until the light to step into the crosswalk.

      <![CDATA[I have observed University of Memphis student Nick Hicks and many others at the Central crossing disregard the stop light and just walk out in front of the cars. So many times I have seen this it is impossible to count.

      <![CDATA[Unless things have changed, pedestrians in crosswalks have always had the right of way, it's a combination of the idiot Memphis drivers and the sheer number of pedestrians that simply amble across the street at any point of their choosing.
