@Marrekoo@DrTCombs@sofio Yeah, "jaywalking" is illegal at the local/state level pretty much everywhere in the US, but crossing is legally permitted at intersections and where marked by zebra crossings like that.
Because everything's pushed down to states & municipalities, there's 50+ different legal standings with most taking guidance from federal standards, but there's probably weird exceptions out there.
@Marrekoo@DrTCombs@sofio They are legally required to yield to pedestrians in a zebra (or in an unmarked crossing), although again this is a state-level thing. It's hard to say that's 100% true for all US states, and states add exceptions all the time.
Like, here's Florida's "you have to yield.. unless there's a ped overpass, in which case squish away!" clause. How close does the tunnel or overpass have to be? Who knows!
@Andres4NY@DrTCombs@sofio whoa. Having traffic regulations concerning such uniformly presented objects vary along states is actually a bit beyond my comprehension.
