Pedestrian—Improper Crossing .....10.00
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 30 Update 2).
Full Breakdown
Sec. 25-2 of the Huntsville Code adopts all state traffic laws and highway department rules, including Alabama's pedestrian crossing rules of the road, as city ordinance, so an officer can cite a pedestrian who crosses outside a crosswalk or against a signal. Sec. 16-6(g) then lists "Pedestrian, Improper Crossing" on the municipal court's guilty-plea fine schedule at a flat $10.00, on top of standard court costs assessed under Sec. 16-4.
Violations & Fines
Municipal court magistrates may accept a guilty plea and impose the listed $10.00 fine for pedestrian improper crossing, plus court costs under Sec. 16-4; repeat traffic offenders (two or more convictions in 12 months) must appear in court rather than pay by plea.
