The New Fairfield Resident State Police Trooper's Office is touting new pedestrian signs installed at crosswalks. Troopers are reminding drivers that if the yellow lights are flashing or a pedestrian is entering, or is in the crosswalk, they must yield. According to a new law, a driver must slow or stop if the pedestrian is within any portion of the crosswalk or “steps to the curb at a crosswalk's entrance and indicates an intent to cross by raising a hand or arm to oncoming traffic.
