Springfield, MO Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

Within areas designated by the traffic engineer and listed on a schedule filed with the city clerk, Springfield pedestrians may not cross the roadway anywhere but a crosswalk. Outside business districts, a pedestrian crossing at a non-crosswalk point must yield the right-of-way to vehicles, though drivers still owe pedestrians the highest degree of care. From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, pedestrians cannot cross a roadway posted above 30 mph, or one on the traffic engineer's designated list, anywhere but a crosswalk or intersection.
