Right of Way: When Vehicle Using Alley or Nonhighway Access to Stop
A safety statute provides that the operator of a vehicle emerging from an alley or about to
cross or enter a highway from any point of access other than another highway shall stop the vehicle
immediately prior to moving onto the sidewalk, or onto the sidewalk area extending across the
path of the vehicle, and shall yield the right of way to any pedestrian, and upon crossing or entering
the roadway shall yield the right of way to all vehicles approaching on the roadway.1
“Right of way” means the privilege of the immediate use of the roadway.2
The words “emerging from” mean “leaving or coming out of.”
“Point of access,” means “a place where an entry can be made onto a highway.”
