Can pedestrians cross anywhere on a highway in Delaware?

Yes, as they wish
No, only at marked crosswalks
Only if they are in a group
Only if they signal

The correct answer is: No, only at marked crosswalks

In Delaware, pedestrians must use marked crosswalks to cross highways. This rule is in place to enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers. Crosswalks are specifically designated areas where pedestrians can safely navigate traffic, and they typically offer improved visibility for both parties. By concentrating pedestrian crossing activity at these designated points, the overall risk of accidents is reduced, as drivers are more likely to be aware of pedestrian traffic in these areas. While pedestrians do have the right to cross roads, crossing anywhere along a highway can put them in dangerous situations due to unpredictable vehicle speeds and limited visibility. Not using marked crosswalks can disrupt the flow of traffic and increase the chances of accidents, making the regulation clear that crosswalks serve as controlled points for safer crossing.
