You must stop

RE:Crosswalks are for pedestrians


Speaking from a great deal of experience as a frustrated pedestrian: for some reason when the drivers in Kelowna aren't taught clearly or fail to educate themselves, that it doesn't matter if the "crosswalk" is marked with lines, if someone is crossing at a corner where a road meets another one it's considered a crosswalk and pedestrians have the right of way to cross.

Basically, unless the intersection is controlled by lights, if you see someone waiting to cross at a corner you must stop your vehicle for them!

See: Motor Vehicle Act [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 318 - Definitions 119 and
Sections 179 and 180 for clarity.
