Yielding to pedestrians 41
(1) A person driving a vehicle shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk.
(2) Where a vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, a person driving any other vehicle that is approaching the stopped vehicle from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.
(3) At any place on a roadway other than at a crosswalk, a person driving a vehicle has the right of way over pedestrians unless otherwise directed by a peace officer or a traffic control device.

(4) Refer to rule 'delta-bravo'. If driving a BMW or are employed as a bike courier, anarchy applies and you are deemed to own the roadway. You will have the right-away as you choose, and (cyclists only) be free to act as a pedestrian, vehicle, bicycle etc. Riding between cars stopped for a pedestrian is encouraged.
