To the editor:
I think people in this county need a reminder.
Indiana state law requires that vehicles must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within a crosswalk that are in the same half of the roadway as the vehicle, or when a pedestrian is closely approaching. Vehicles approaching a yield sign must yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the roadway.
And not only is it the law, it is the courteous, civil thing to do.
