ORLANDO, Fla. – Pedestrian safety is a big deal, and there are responsibilities that both walkers and drivers need to know about.

A viewer named Britanny asked me, “Am I required to yield to pedestrians who are jaywalking -- crossing when their signal is red or crossing where there is no crosswalk?”

On Thursday’s Trooper Steve On Patrol, we will take a look at the situation and go over what Florida law states about it.
