operation at pedestrian crossings, a vehicle must yield the
right of way, by slowing down or stopping, when the
pedestrian in the crossing is upon the same half of the
roadway as the vehicle, or when the pedestrian is
approaching so closely from the opposite half of the
roadway as to be in danger.
3. No pedestrian
shall suddenly leave a curb or other place
of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which
is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.

who are between adjacent intersections at
which traffic control signals are in operation must not
cross at any place except in a marked crosswalk.
