Self-driving Uber car kills Arizona pedestrian, police say
Officials said an Arizona woman was killed after being struck by a
self-driving Uber vehicle early Monday -- an incident believed to be the first of its kind. The accident in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe caused the company to suspend all testing of self-driving vehicles in cities across the country. Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told FOX10 Phoenix the woman was walking outside of a crosswalk when she was struck by the vehicle. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/19...olice-say.html -- Bod |

RIP, etc. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...n-Arizona.html |

Yet when a pedestrian walks in to the road in front of a cyclist you tell us it is the cyclist's fault. |

Watch enough Hollywood movies and just about anyone anywhere is fair game in the U. S., school children, whatever. |

That was a damn' stupid place for the bicyclist to jaywalk across the road. Are you saying that pedestrians in the carriageway are fair game outside of a designated crossing? Are you saying that you are ignorant of the law on "jaywalking" in most USA states? Why do I ask? Of *course* you are. Here's some of the Arizona legislation: QUOTE: howwedrive.com. The State Statute 28-793. Crossing at other than crosswalk A. A pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection *shall* *yield* the right-of-way to *all* *vehicles* on the roadway. B. A pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided *shall* *yield* the right-of-way to *all* *vehicles* on the roadway. C. Between adjacent intersections at which traffic control signals are in operation, pedestrians *shall* *not* cross at any place except in a marked crosswalk. In Arizona, cities are authorized to enact their own pedestrian regulations; so you need to look at each and every jurisdiction; skip below to see two examples, Tempe and Mesa. [Let's skip straight to Tempe] Jaywalking in Tempe Sec. 19-1(2) Central business district means all streets and portions of streets within the area described as follows. All that area bounded by the salt river on the north, to 10th Street on the south and from Myrtle Avenue on the east to Maple Avenue on the west. [note: the ASU campus is, mostly, not in the central business district. Rather it is east of the CBD.] Sec. 19-151. Crossing a roadway. (a) No pedestrian shall cross the roadway within the central business district other than within a marked or unmarked crosswalk. (b) Every pedestrian crossing a roadway outside of the central business district at any point other than within a marked or unmarked crosswalk *shall* *yield* the right-of-way to *all* *vehicles* upon the roadway. (c) No pedestrian shall cross a roadway where signs or traffic control signals prohibit such crossing. ENDQUOTE |
