Salinas, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

" Outside those signed locations, the section does not apply, so the restriction is site-specific rather than a blanket mid-block crossing ban. Section 20-43 governs where the city traffic engineer must put crosswalks in the first place: they are required at all intersections within the central traffic district and at other designated intersections, and outside intersections no mid-block crosswalk may be placed on a block shorter than 400 feet, with no more than one additional mid-block crosswalk per block. 08 controls: any code violation not otherwise assigned a specific penalty is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, or an infraction punishable by up to a $500 fine, at the prosecuting attorney's discretion, and repeated violations of the same section three or more times in six months can be charged as a misdemeanor even if normally an infraction.
