Wisconsin Pedestrian Accident Laws
In Wisconsin, a pedestrian is defined as anyone walking on foot or using a mechanical wheelchair. Pedestrians have rights and responsibilities under the law. Motorists must yield to pedestrians at “Walk” signals, green lights, unmarked crosswalks, sidewalks, driveways, and alleys. They must not pass vehicles stopped for pedestrians. Pedestrians must yield without a “Walk” signal, avoid sudden movements into traffic, and walk on the left side if there are no sidewalks. Our Hudson pedestrian accident attorneys can guide you through these rules.
