This bill aims to establish a local option jaywalking law. It would prohibit pedestrians from crossing a roadway intersection diagonally unless authorized by official traffic control devices, and from walking against a signal light and crossing anywhere except in a marked crosswalk between adjacent intersections with traffic control signals. The bill sets penalties for violations, with higher fines for those using mobile electronic devices or wearing earbuds, headphones, or similar devices. Additionally, it increases the penalties for violations of existing rules related to pedestrian crossings.
