St. Pete is a city where people love to walk.
Downtown. Along the waterfront. Through our neighborhoods. To restaurants, shops, and community events.
But being in a pedestrian-friendly city doesn't mean every crossing is safe.
Drivers who fail to yield, have poor visibility, inadequate lighting, and confusing intersections can all contribute to pedestrian accidents.
And here's something many drivers may not realize: A pedestrian crossing doesn't always have to be marked with painted lines for right-of-way rules to apply.
Florida law includes protections for pedestrians at certain unmarked crosswalks, too.
Whether you're behind the wheel or crossing the street, knowing the rules matters.
I've represented accident victims in St. Petersburg for nearly 40 years. I know how quickly a moment of inattention can change someone's life.
