It's The Law
The speed limit is 25 miles per hour in
all residential areas of Tulsa unless posted otherwise.
When traffic-control signals are not in
place, the driver of vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to a
pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the
pedestrian is upon that half of the roadway upon which the vehicle
is traveling.
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a
curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a
vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to
yield.
Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a
crosswalk, the driver of any other vehicles approaching from the
rear shall not overtake and pass such stopped vehicles until the
overtaking driver has ascertained that such movement can be made
with safety.
Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at
any point, other than within a marked crosswalk or within an
unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, shall yield the right-of-way
to all vehicles upon the roadway.
Where sidewalks are provided, it shall
be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon any adjacent
roadway.
Where sidewalks are not provided, any
pedestrian walking along and upon a roadway shall, when
practicable, walk only on the left side of the roadway or its
shoulder, facing traffic which may approach from the opposite
direction.
