Remember, as a pedestrian, you have the right-of-way only when you’re already in the street. Indiana state law prohibits you from stepping into the path of a car that is so close as to be an immediate hazard. And if you’re crossing anywhere other than within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection, you must yield the right-of-way—if all lanes of traffic aren’t clear enough to give you time to cross the street, you cannot step out into the roadway.
