Jaywalking legalized in New York City
- Jaywalking is now legal in New York City after legislation passed by the City Council, because Mayor Eric Adams did not take action after 30 days.
- The law aims to end racial disparities in enforcement, as over 90% of jaywalking tickets last year were issued to Black and Latino people, according to Council Member Mercedes Narcisse.
- The new law allows pedestrians to cross anywhere but warns they must yield to traffic, which the Legal Aid Society calls long overdue.
