Right of Way: Pedestrian's Duty: Facing Green Arrow
The Wisconsin statutes define “right of way” as the privilege of the immediate use of
the roadway1 and, further provide, that no pedestrian facing a green arrow signal shall enter
the roadway unless the pedestrian can do so safely and without interfering with any
vehicular traffic.2
If you find that (pedestrian) was facing a green arrow, then it became (pedestrian)’s
duty, before entering onto the roadway, to yield the right of way to an approaching vehicle
unless (pedestrian) could enter the roadway safely and without interference with vehicle
traffic on the roadway.
