        • (b) — Vehicle operators of any vehicle approaching another vehicle from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle when it is stopped at a marked crosswalk, or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway.
        • (c) — The driver of a vehicle emerging from or entering an alley, building entrance, private road, or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian, or person riding a bicycle, approaching on any sidewalk or walkway extending across such alley, building entrance, road, or driveway.
      • 20-174. Crossing at Other Than Crosswalks; Walking along Highway
        • (e) — Bicyclists must avoid colliding with pedestrians, children, etc. that are on a roadway.
    • Very informative site (pedestrian vs motorist, the entire site has a lot of info)
