Sacramento, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

020: on a 'through street,' a pedestrian may not cross anywhere within 300 feet of a marked crosswalk except inside that crosswalk, with a single carved-out exception for a spot where a school bus is stopped and displaying flashing red lights. 060 makes it unlawful to enter a crosswalk once a signal device, school crossing guard, or school safety patrol officer is actively warning pedestrians not to proceed, or to continue into the crosswalk until that person or device signals it is clear. 050 bars standing in any roadway in a way that interferes with the lawful movement of traffic, though that section exempts on-duty public officers, employees, and utility workers.

130, punishable by a fine set by the Judicial Council of the Municipal Court of the Sacramento Judicial District. The 300-foot rule applies specifically to through streets, so the code does not require crosswalk use on every residential street a pedestrian crosses.
