San Angelo, TX Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

013 sets the city's pedestrian crossing rules. Subsection (c) requires a pedestrian to cross a roadway either at right angles to the curb, by the shortest route to the opposite curb, or in a crosswalk, making a diagonal or angled crossing outside a crosswalk unlawful. Subsection (d) shifts the right-of-way burden: a pedestrian crossing anywhere other than a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection must yield to every vehicle on the roadway, and the same duty applies where the city has built a pedestrian tunnel or overhead crossing the person chooses not to use.

Subsection (e) adds a stricter rule for signalized blocks: between adjacent intersections where traffic-control signals are operating, a pedestrian may not cross at any place except in a crosswalk, closing off the mid-block dash even where subsection (c) might otherwise allow a right-angle crossing. Subsection (b) still gives a pedestrian the right-of-way inside a marked or unmarked crosswalk when signals are absent or off, requiring drivers to yield and stop if necessary, but that protection disappears once the pedestrian steps outside the crosswalk lines. The section was last amended by Ordinance No. A. Transportation Code chapter 552, the state pedestrian statute San Angelo's ordinance implements locally.
