Redlands, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

030 requires pedestrians in the central traffic district or in any business district to use a crosswalk when crossing a roadway; crossing anywhere else in those districts is unlawful under the prior code section it carries forward, section 68103. 040 requires that once in a marked crosswalk, a pedestrian cross by a route at right angles to the curb, or by the shortest route to the opposite curb, rather than diagonally or at an angle. 020, based on a traffic engineering investigation showing that a crosswalk would facilitate orderly pedestrian and vehicular movement; the traffic engineer then paints markings or posts signs, and can remove them later if the underlying traffic conditions change.

020: absent a specific penalty elsewhere, a violation is either a misdemeanor (up to six months in jail, a fine up to $1,000, or both) or, where the city attorney elects to charge it that way, an infraction punishable by a fine not exceeding $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second within one year, and $500 for each additional violation within that year. Redlands Police Department officers issue citations for pedestrian violations under this chapter. The rule applies only inside the central traffic district and business districts as mapped by the city; outside those areas the code does not impose the same crosswalk-only requirement.
