Fairfield, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

Fairfield's pedestrian rules sit in Article VI of Chapter 11. 6 first gives the traffic engineer authority to establish, designate, and maintain marked crosswalks at intersections and other locations found to present a particular hazard to crossing pedestrians, though no crosswalk may be placed in a block shorter than four hundred feet, and any crosswalk added mid-block must sit as near the middle of the block as practical. 1 states flatly that no pedestrian shall cross a roadway other than by a crosswalk in any business district as defined in the state vehicle code, meaning the restriction is tied to the vehicle code's business-district definition rather than applying citywide.

1 does not apply by its own terms, though drivers and pedestrians remain subject to the general right-of-way rules in the state vehicle code. 2 separately bars any pedestrian from walking within the right-of-way of Air Base Parkway except inside a marked crosswalk, reflecting the road's function as a high-speed arterial serving Travis Air Force Base traffic.
