Whittier, CA Public Conduct: Jaywalking (2026)

010 states plainly that no pedestrian shall cross a roadway other than by a crosswalk in any business district in the city, a narrower and more specific rule than a citywide jaywalking ban: it applies specifically within business districts rather than every street in Whittier. 020 governs intersections controlled by a traffic sign, signal, or officer of the city, county or state: pedestrians may not cross the roadway there except with the released traffic movement, meaning against a red or non-walk signal is a violation independent of whether a marked crosswalk exists.

64 (Pedestrians), enacted by Ordinance No. 2810, Section 2 (part), and Ordinance No. 2809, Section 2, in 2002, and both are enforced by the Whittier Police Department alongside the state Vehicle Code's general pedestrian right-of-way rules. 040), reflecting a broader pedestrian-conduct scheme rather than an isolated crosswalk statute.
