Full Breakdown

Section 78-10 of the Mosinee Code of Ordinances, part of Chapter 78's traffic and vehicle regulations, sets the city's pedestrian rules. Subsection (a)(1) requires pedestrians on any highway within the city to obey the instructions of a uniform traffic control device, unless a law enforcement officer directs otherwise. Subsection (a)(2) requires a pedestrian using a marked crosswalk to keep to the right half of it whenever practicable, and bars walking along an adjacent roadway where a sidewalk exists, unless that sidewalk is visibly unsafe, obstructed or closed to public travel.

Subsection (b) is the city's jaywalking rule: no pedestrian may cross a street between adjacent intersections unless the crossing is permitted by an official traffic control device, meaning a midblock crossing is only lawful where the city has marked or signaled one. The section carries forward Code 1986 § 8-1-42 without a listed amendment, so it predates the 1998 codification and has not been updated since. 00, plus court costs, fees and any applicable penalty assessment or driver surcharge.

Violations & Fines

Jaywalking is a nonmoving pedestrian violation under Chapter 78, and because section 78-10 does not list its own fine, it falls under section 78-43(e)'s catchall: a forfeiture of not less than $15.00 nor more than $200.00, plus court costs, fees and any penalty assessment that applies. Citations can be issued by a law enforcement officer under the chapter's general citation procedure in section 78-42.

Can I walk in the street instead of the sidewalk in Mosinee?
