The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.
No you’re right. Jaywalking was abused to target minorities but never did the law ever do anything to prevent it from happening.
Thats the beauty of the law. All bad faith actors are able to get a use case, the rest gets fucked
