ENTERPRISE – (Release from the City of Enterprise) Enterprise has numerous unmarked crosswalks throughout the city. The law requires that you must stop for pedestrians in that area! An “unmarked crosswalk” is the portion of an intersection (including a T-intersection like in the photo) within the extension of the lines of sidewalks on one or more sides of an intersection; in other words, draw a line across the street from the end of the sidewalk. So, even if there are no lines on the road (or lights), the area between the ends of the extensions of a sidewalk, even if unmarked, is a crosswalk! A driver may be cited and fined more than $250 for failing to stop for a pedestrian.
