Summary

Aurora's own code bans pedestrians from walking on or across any landscaped median while crossing a roadway. General jaywalking, crossing outside a marked crosswalk, is governed by the state Model Traffic Code, which Aurora adopts by reference rather than printing separately.

It is unlawful for any pedestrian crossing a roadway to walk upon or across any portion of a median which is landscaped.

Full Breakdown

Aurora City Code § 134-363 makes it unlawful for a pedestrian crossing a roadway to walk upon or across any portion of a median that is landscaped, a rule dating to Ordinance No. 98-95 (1999) and still in force in the code current through Ordinance 2026-17 (May 18, 2026). This is the city's own printed pedestrian-crossing restriction; broader mid-block jaywalking rules (crossing between intersections outside a crosswalk) come from the 2024 Model Traffic Code for Colorado, which § 134-1 adopts by reference for the whole city rather than restating locally.

Violations & Fines

A violation is a Chapter 134 traffic ordinance offense under Sec. 134-6, prosecuted in Aurora Municipal Court; the section itself sets no dollar fine, so standard municipal traffic penalties apply.
