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.

    I live in a rail hub in the us. The city is nicknamed after it and train tracks literally run through the city center.

    It would take me 6 hours to walk there.

      Please tell me you’re exaggerating. I live in a small city and it only takes me maybe an hour to walk across town. If it’s taking you 6 hours, it’s not rural.

      If it takes 6 hours to walk across your city it’s not rural. Your city needs comprehensive public transportation.
