    Tennessee Tech Police Department: Crosswalk Safety: Be Alert, Be Seen, Be Safe

    In Tennessee, pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked crosswalks and at intersections—but safety is a shared responsibility. Always use crosswalks when available and obey pedestrian signals. Don’t suddenly step into traffic. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise due care to avoid collisions. Stay alert, heads up, phones down, and help keep everyone safe.
