Las Vegas Catastrophic Personal Injuries

Crossing other than at crosswalk. NRS 484.327

Except as provided in NRS 484.328:

1. Every pedestrian crossing a highway 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 highway.

2. Any pedestrian crossing a highway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided shall yield the right of way to all vehicles upon the
highway.

3. Between adjacent intersections at which official traffic-control devices are in operation pedestrians shall not cross at any place except in a marked crosswalk.

4. A pedestrian shall not cross an intersection diagonally unless authorized by official traffic-control devices.

5. When authorized to cross diagonally, pedestrians shall cross only in accordance with the official traffic-control devices pertaining to such crossing movements.

This Nevada Statute sets forth the law applicable to pedestrians crossing at any point other than within a marked crosswalk. The violation of this statute by a pedestrian can result in the inability of the pedestrian to recover for any injuries he or she sustains with a motor vehicle. A violation of this statute may be deemed by the court to constitute “negligence per se”.
