In Virginia, pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked crosswalks and while crossing the street with the light on. If the intersection has a walk signal, the pedestrian should follow it and not enter it when the “Don’t Walk” signal is lit.
When using an “unmarked” crosswalk – crossing at an intersection without a marked crosswalk – the pedestrian has the right of way, except when the speed limit of the road that’s being crossed is more than 35 mph.
Pedestrians should use sidewalks wherever possible. When walking along a road that doesn’t have sidewalks, pedestrians should keep to the left-hand side of the left-hand lane. If the road is shoulder-wide enough to be used for walking, pedestrians can use the shoulder on either side of the road.
When walking as a pedestrian, it’s more important to be safe than to be right. That means you may need to accept the fact that drivers don’t always pay attention to their legal obligation to give pedestrians the right of way. As a result, you may need to wait for cars to pass by before you cross in a marked crosswalk, for example. The more aware you are of your surroundings when out walking, the safer you’re likely to be.
