Changes
to the highway code in France mean that pedestrians now have right
of way over cars when crossing the road.
The new laws are not restricted to pedestrian crossings and mean that you must
give way when a pedestrian gives you a clear intention that they wish
to cross the road. A clear intention is defined as the pedestrian taking a step
forward at the kerbside or giving a hand gesture to imply that they wish to cross.
The new rule does not apply
less than 50 metres away from a pedestrian crossing.
Failure to ignore the pedestrian could mean a fine of up to €135 or four points
on your license.
