Full Breakdown

The city manager can designate certain intersections as requiring regulation of pedestrian traffic. At those designated intersections, the city marks crosswalks and posts signs warning that jaywalking is prohibited. Once posted, it is unlawful to cross the street or avenue at that intersection, or within 50 feet of it, anywhere other than inside the marked crosswalk. Ordinary, undesignated intersections and mid-block crossings elsewhere in the city are not covered: the restriction applies only where the city manager has formally designated the crossing and signage is in place.

Violations & Fines

Crossing outside the marked crosswalk at a designated, signed intersection violates Sec. 23.05 and can draw a citation under the city's traffic enforcement provisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is jaywalking illegal everywhere in Safety Harbor?
No. The ban only applies at intersections the city manager has designated and marked with crosswalks and jaywalking signs, not at every street corner in town.
How close to a crosswalk do I have to cross?
You must use the marked crosswalk itself at a designated intersection; crossing anywhere within 50 feet of it outside the crosswalk is a violation.
