ORLANDO, Fla. – Pedestrian safety is a big deal, and there are responsibilities that both walkers and drivers need to know about.
A viewer named Britanny asked me, “Am I required to yield to pedestrians who are jaywalking -- crossing when their signal is red or crossing where there is no crosswalk?”
On Thursday’s Trooper Steve On Patrol, we took a look at the situation.
Believe it or not, the word jaywalking is nowhere in Florida law. It’s simply a word we use to describe when a pedestrian crosses a road and is not in a marked crosswalk.
