With considerable help and encouragement from the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition, Ann Arbor’s city council unanimously passed an ordinance that will require motorists to stop and yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks. The WBWC released an accompanying video demonstrating the perils that pedestrians face due to Michigan’s culture of not stopping at crosswalks. Watch the video below or read more about WBWC here.
