Dearborn, MI Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

Dearborn's traffic code requires pedestrians to cross a street or roadway only at the crosswalks located at intersections: crossing mid-block or elsewhere on the roadway is prohibited. The rule doesn't excuse drivers: every motorist must still exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian, sound the horn when needed, and take extra precaution around children or anyone confused or incapacitated. A related section on uncontrolled crossings adds that pedestrians must stop at the curb and look for traffic before entering the street, and makes it unlawful to cross against a red light or away from a crosswalk in a way that interferes with vehicles.
