Universal Citation: 13 AK Admin Code 02.160

Current through February 24, 2025

(a) A pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway, except as provided in AS 28.35.145.

(b) No pedestrian may cross a roadway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided and which is accessible at road level at or near the point of crossing, unless a marked crosswalk is also provided at that point. If a pedestrian overpass or tunnel is not accessible and if no marked crosswalk is provided, a pedestrian crossing the roadway must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles on the roadway which are so close as to constitute a hazard.

(c) Between adjacent intersections in a business or residence district in which traffic-control signals are in operation, no pedestrian may cross except in a marked crosswalk.

(d) No pedestrian may cross a roadway intersection diagonally or otherwise than at a right angle unless authorized by an official traffic-control device. When authorized to cross diagonally, pedestrians must cross in accordance with the official traffic-control device.

(e) No pedestrian may cross a roadway where an official traffic-control device specifically prohibits the crossing.

(f) Except as provided in (d) of this section, a pedestrian must cross a roadway at a right angle to the roadway or by the shortest route to the opposite side of the roadway.

As of Register 209 (April 2014), the regulations attorney made a technical revision under AS 44.62.125(b)(6), to reflect the repeal of 13 AAC 02.260(d) and the enactment of AS 28.35.145 (overtaking and passing school bus).
