(a) The operator of a vehicle shall stop and yield the right-of-way to a sidewalk user crossing a roadway in a crosswalk if:
(1) no traffic control signal is in place or in operation; and
(2) the sidewalk user is:
(A) on the half of the roadway in which the vehicle is traveling; or
(B) approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a sidewalk user may not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and proceed into a crosswalk in the path of a vehicle so close that it is impossible for the vehicle operator to stop and yield.
(c) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a sidewalk user may not approach or enter a crosswalk at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and having regard for actual and potential existing hazards. For the purposes of this subsection, a speed greater than eight miles per hour is prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable and prudent.
(d) The operator of a vehicle approaching from the rear of a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk to permit a sidewalk user to cross a roadway may not pass the stopped vehicle.
