Pedestrian Accident Laws in Wisconsin

Wisconsin defines a pedestrian as anyone on foot or using a mechanical wheelchair. Pedestrians have specific rights and responsibilities. Motorists must yield at intersections with “Walk” signals, green lights, and crosswalks. They must also yield on sidewalks, at driveways, and alleys and cannot pass stopped vehicles. Pedestrians must yield without a “Walk” signal, avoid darting into traffic, and walk on the left side without sidewalks. Our Buffalo pedestrian accident lawyers can guide you through these laws.
