Full Breakdown

MMC § 11.04.065 designates specific 'restricted intersections', every freeway on/off-ramp plus ten named intersections along SR 528, State Avenue, and 27th Avenue NE, where entering the roadway except at a marked crosswalk during a walk signal is a misdemeanor. 'Enter' covers crossing the vertical plane of the roadway edge with any part of the body or an extension of it. Police officers, city employees on duty, and people responding to a roadway emergency are exempted. The rule applies only at the listed intersections, not citywide, so ordinary jaywalking elsewhere in Marysville isn't a criminal offense under this section.

Violations & Fines

Entering a restricted intersection outside a marked crosswalk is a misdemeanor, not a simple infraction: a criminal charge carrying real court exposure, not just a ticket.
