vehicles upon the roadway and shall cross such roadway only at right
angles to the sideline of such roadway.


RULE 6.

with these Rules.

b. No pedestrian shall leave a sidewalk or safety island and walk or
run into the path of a moving vehicle which is so close that it is
impossible for the driver to yield the right-of-way.

c. No pedestrian shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of
soliciting a ride, employment, or business from the operator or any
occupant of any vehicle thereon.

of, or a curb in a roadway, shall alight from the side of such a
