Explanation
Pedestrians using guide dogs or white canes, whether with or without a red tip, must always be given the right-of-way. This special right-of-way law is in place to ensure the safety and accessibility of blind pedestrians. When a pedestrian carrying a white cane is at the corner ready to cross the street, drivers should yield the right-of-way and wait until the pedestrian has safely crossed the street before making a right turn.
