The burden of proof is on the driver, however “No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traf fic,” section 62 of the new code declares. An exception is provided for times when “reduced speed is nec essary for safe operation or com pliance with law’.” The long suffering pedestrian has his day in the new act, too Previously there was no state ment of the pedestrian’s rights, or duties. If there is no traffic light at an intersection, or if the light is not working, drivers must yield the ri^ht-of-wav to a pedestrian on their side of the road. This applies only to intersec tions at which there are marked crosswalks. On the other hand, the pedes trian can’t claim the right of way if he darts out in front of a car so fast that it’s impossible for the driver to yield. When a car stops at an intersec tion to let a pedestrian cross, oth er drivers must not pass the stopped vehicle. Jay-walking between intersec tions with traffic lights is pro hibited. If there is a side walk S ou can't legally walk on the road! lor can you stand “in a roadway tor the purpose of soliciting a ride.” • On the open road where there are no sidewalks, pedestrians should walk on the left, facing oncoming traffic. The new state law was pat- temed after the national uni form highway safety code already in many other states. _ State Highway Commis sioner C. R. McMillan says it is intended to curb fast, reckless driving and to reduce the number of law violations and accidents.
