The driver of any vehicle on a highway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing such highway:

1. At any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of any block;

2.[b] At any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block;
[/b]
3. At any intersection when the driver is approaching on a highway or street where the legal maximum speed does not exceed 35 miles per hour.[/quote]

That does not mean what you think it means.[/quote]

[i]Motor vehicles have a duty to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, whether the crosswalk is marked or not.[/i]

[i]The Virginia Supreme Court has written that the purpose of the Virginia Code section that gives a pedestrian the right-of-way when crossing at “any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block” is “to afford pedestrians crossing at an intersection at the end of a city block a right-of-way over vehicular traffic and to that extent give them some degree of protection from its dangers.” [/i][/quote]
