Vacaville, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

36, Pedestrians. 046 draws its no-crossing rule specifically around blocks bounded by two signal-controlled or officer-controlled intersections, meaning the mid-block crossing ban applies most strictly downtown and on other signalized corridors rather than every residential street in the city. 045 covers the broader default rule for any point outside a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection: a pedestrian there must yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the roadway close enough to be an immediate hazard, shifting legal responsibility onto the pedestrian in a collision at that location.

020 layers on a related rule specific to downtown: no pedestrian may cross a street other than by a crosswalk anywhere within Vacaville's central traffic district, regardless of whether the crossing point sits between signalized intersections. 010 governs how crosswalks get created in the first place, directing the city traffic engineer to establish crosswalks at intersections and, in blocks longer than 425 feet, to add a mid-block crossing where warranted, including near schools. 044 separately makes it unlawful for a pedestrian to suddenly leave a curb into the path of a close vehicle or to needlessly stop or delay traffic while inside a crosswalk, rounding out the chapter's pedestrian right-of-way scheme.
