These allow diagonal crossing. All vehicular traffic stops, and pedestrians are allowed to cross left, right, or diagonally across the intersection.

Is it legal to cross a street diagonally?

I have seen some intersections where diagonal crosswalks have been painted in intersections. But they are fairly rare.


If a car hits a pedestrian crossing where there is a crosswalk sign who is responsible in California?

Crosswalks A crosswalk is that part of the pavement where the sidewalk lines would extend across the street and it is set aside for pedestrian traffic. Every intersection has a pedestrian crosswalk whether or not there are painted lines on the street. Most crosswalks are at corners but they can also be in the middle of the block. Before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked. Some crosswalks have flashing lights to warn you that pedestrians may be crossing. Look for pedestrians and be prepared to stop, whether or not the lights are flashing. To get more information on this matter and other California motor vehicle laws goto http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/driver_handbook_toc.htm and click on the PDF version of the drivers handbook.

When crossing a street pedestrians should always use a crosswalk if it is available or should wait for traffic to stop for them.?

By law, motorists are REQUIRED to stop for ANY pedestrian at any MARKED crosswalk with crosswalk lines on both sides. At some crosswalks with no traffic light, pedestrians are not required to wait although since all drivers are not that smart to automatically stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, it may be wise for the pedestrian to consider their own safety and wait anyway.

How do you draw a rope?

Just draw a line... not a straight line, but a curvy one... Some people would draw two parallel curvy lines, with equally-spaced diagonal lines between, to represent the 'twist' of the rope.

Where do find latitude on a map?

Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.


What are the classifacation of lines?

There are many classifications of lines in geometry and some of them are:- Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other Perpendicular lines intersect each other at right angles Lines that cross each other create vertical opposte equal angles Diagonal lines are found in polygons Line segments have end points Lines on the Cartesian plane are the x and y axes


What is the interval between lines of latitude and longitude in the world atlas?

The interval between lines of latitude is generally 1 degree, which is equal to approximately 111 kilometers. For lines of longitude, the interval also 1 degree at the equator but converges towards the poles. This means that longitude lines are furthest apart at the equator and converge to meet at the poles.
