Answer

The statement is True.
Drivers crossing a sidewalk from a private driveway or alley are legally required to stop and yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian on the sidewalk. This ensures pedestrian safety in designated footpaths.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the conflict area between the motor vehicle and pedestrians.
The vehicle is crossing a public sidewalk from a private driveway to reach the street.
Sidewalks are designated pedestrian spaces that intersect driveway paths.
2
Apply right-of-way laws for driveways and sidewalks.
The driver must come to a complete stop before crossing the sidewalk and yield to any pedestrians on or approaching the sidewalk.
Motor vehicles exiting non-roadway areas must yield to all vulnerable users on public footpaths.
