Drivers Must Yield to Pedestrians | Pierre News

Robert Elliott, a wheelchair user who suffered a severe immune reaction to a flu shot in 2019, warns drivers to never rush past pedestrians—even when they have the right-of-way. He recounts a terrifying near-miss where a truck rolled into a crosswalk as he entered it, highlighting how common such close calls are. Police Sergeant Aaron Benson urges drivers to wait until crosswalks are fully clear and pedestrians to stay alert, especially with kids heading back to school. While Sioux Falls has penalties for violations, officers focus on prevention. Elliott’s plea? Just slow down and be patient—safety is worth the wait.
