Section 346.24 - Crossing at uncontrolled intersection or crosswalk(1) At an intersection or crosswalk where traffic is not controlled by traffic control signals or by a traffic officer, the operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian or personal delivery device, or to a person riding a bicycle, electric scooter, or electric personal assistive mobility device in a manner which is consistent with the safe use of the crosswalk by pedestrians, that is crossing the highway within a marked or unmarked crosswalk.(2) No pedestrian, personal delivery device, bicyclist, or rider of an electric scooter or an electric personal assistive mobility device may suddenly leave, and no personal delivery device operator may allow a personal delivery device to suddenly leave, a curb or other place of safety and walk, run, or ride into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is difficult for the operator of the vehicle to yield.(3) Whenever any vehicle is stopped at an intersection or crosswalk to permit a pedestrian, personal delivery device, bicyclist, or rider of an electric scooter or an electric personal assistive mobility device to cross the roadway, the operator of any other vehicle approaching from the rear may not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.Amended by Acts 2019 ch, 11,s 38, eff. 7/10/2019.Amended by Acts 2019 ch, 11,s 37, eff. 7/10/2019.Amended by Acts 2019 ch, 11,s 36, eff. 7/10/2019.Amended by Acts 2017 ch, 13,s 12, eff. 6/23/2017.Amended by Acts 2017 ch, 13,s 11, eff. 6/23/2017.Amended by Acts 2017 ch, 13,s 10, eff. 6/23/2017. In order for the motorist to have a duty to yield under this section, the pedestrian must be crossing within the crosswalk (sub. (1)), and not have entered in such a manner as to make it difficult for the motorist to yield (sub. (2)). The requirements under s. 346.23, however, are that the pedestrian be crossing or have started to cross on a Walk light. The burden on the motorist is more absolute under s. 346.23 than under this section. Schoenauer v. Wendinger, 49 Wis. 2d 415, 182 N.W.2d 441 (1971).
