Rohnert Park, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

64, Pedestrians, works as a pair of sections. 010 directs the city traffic engineer to establish and maintain crosswalks at every intersection within the central traffic district, at intersections outside it, and at other locations the traffic engineer determines pose a particular hazard to crossing pedestrians, subject to a limitation that a midblock crosswalk cannot be placed on a block shorter than four hundred feet. 020 then makes the crossing rule itself simple and absolute for the areas it covers: no pedestrian may cross a roadway other than by a crosswalk in the central traffic district or in any business district.

010(C) to post signs at or near an intersection directing pedestrians not to cross in a particular marked crosswalk, meaning even a marked crossing can be closed to foot traffic where posted. Outside the central traffic and business districts, this chapter does not impose the crosswalk-only requirement, so Rohnert Park's local jaywalking rule is narrower than a citywide ban and turns on which district a street sits in, a distinction that matters most along the commercial corridors of Redwood Drive, Rohnert Park Expressway, and Commerce Boulevard where the district designation actually applies.
