Revere, MA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

020 requires pedestrians to obey a police officer directing traffic, and states that whenever an officer is directing traffic, a traffic-control signal is present, or a marked crosswalk exists within three hundred feet of a pedestrian, that pedestrian may not cross the roadway except within the marked crosswalk. 120 governs: a pedestrian crossing at any point other than a marked crosswalk must yield the right-of-way to every vehicle on the roadway, and if a pedestrian tunnel or overpass has been built at that location, the pedestrian must use it instead of crossing at street level.

150 carve out pedestrians actually working on a closed or under-repair roadway, municipal, state, federal or public-service-corporation employees performing their duties, officers on duty, and anyone acting under an emergency that requires departing from the crossing rules. 130. 140 makes clear these local rules do not replace the state's 'Precautions for Safety of Other Travelers' and 'Protection of Blind Persons Crossing Ways' provisions in Chapter 90, Sections 14 and 14A of the General Laws, and every driver still owes pedestrians a separate duty of due care regardless of who has the right-of-way. Penalties for violating the pedestrian rules follow Chapter 90, Section 18A of the General Laws rather than a locally set fine amount.
