AI Summary

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 operating traffic signals. Violations would result in fines ranging from $25 for a first offense to $200 for subsequent offenses if the violation occurs while the person is using a mobile electronic device or wearing earbuds, headphones, or similar devices.
