Pedestrians and vehicles are often around one another throughout Oregon, particularly near towns and cities. Regardless of whether you are a driver or a pedestrian in this state, you need to be aware of the laws that can affect pedestrian safety. Pedestrians do have the right-of-way in many situations, but this right-of-way is not unlimited. Here, we want to discuss Oregon’s right-of-way laws for pedestrians so that you can remain safe on the state’s roadways.

It is fairly common among industries to have bulk storage of oil and chemicals. While this is beneficial to the company, this poses a risk to the environment in the event of accidental spills specially during deliveries. Government regulations require oil storage facilities to be properly bunded. The following highlights the most important aspects: • The bund should consist of a base and surrounding walls which must be constructed or lined with a material impermeable to the oil stored. • The bund should not have a damp proof course. • Pipework should not pass through the bund. However, if this is unavoidable any gaps in the wall must be filled with material resistant to attack by the oil. • The capacity of the bund must be at least 10% greater than the total storage capacity of the tank(s). • There must be no outlet connecting to drains, sewers, watercourses or discharging into yards or onto ground.• Normally rainwater should evaporate from the bund. Should there be a need to remove accumulated rainwater this should be done using a manually operated pump.

However, pedestrians do not have a universal right-of-way in and around the roadway. The following are specific facts that both pedestrians and drivers need to know:

The reality is that right-of-way laws can seem confusing, but they are not horribly complex in this state. The number one rule that we want every driver and pedestrian to know is that every intersection in this state constitutes a pedestrian crosswalk, regardless of whether or not the crosswalk is marked or unmarked or whether or not it is controlled by a traffic device. Drivers need to understand that a pedestrian who is crossing at an intersection has the right-of-way. If every driver understood this, this would prevent a significant percentage of all pedestrian accidents in the state.

Drivers must be vigilant when pedestrians are around, even if the driver has the right-of-way. Pedestrians do not have any protection from the force of the vehicle slamming into them, and the likelihood of a severe injury or fatality occurring is significantly increased for pedestrian accidents over traditional vehicle accidents. Oregon drivers must observe the following rules:
