Currently, a driver must yield to a pedestrian, slowing or stopping as necessary, if the pedestrian has stepped off the curb or into the crosswalk. Under the new law, a driver must slow or stop as necessary if the pedestrian (1) is within any portion of the crosswalk; (2) steps to the curb at a crosswalk’s entrance and indicates intent to cross by raising a hand or arm to oncoming traffic; or (3) indicates intent to cross by moving any body part or extension of a body part into the crosswalk entrance, including a wheelchair, cane, walking stick, crutch, bicycle, electric bicycle, stroller, carriage, cart, or leashed or harnessed dog.

“This new pedestrian safety law is an important step to keep everyone safe, and ultimately save lives,” added Giulietti.

As under existing law, drivers who fail to yield at a crosswalk when required are subject to a $500 fine.

Congressman Jim Himes (CT-04), a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement on President Biden’s Executive Order directing agencies to conduct a declassification review of certain documents concerning the 9/11 terrorist attacks: 

“I support the President’s decision to move forward with the process of potentially declassifying documents related to the FBI’s September 11^th investigations. This month, we will hit a painful anniversary: 20 years since we lost 2,977 friends, family members, and neighbors, including dozens of Connecticut residents. These families deserve transparency that may bring them peace, and I will work to ensure this process is completed as expeditiously as possible. The President’s Executive Order also requires that the justification for what remains classified be presented to the intelligence committees, and as a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I expect that classification only be maintained to directly protect the sources and methods the intelligence community uses to keep us safe.
