Sec. 18-161. Pedestrians crossing streets.[302]
(a) When crossing streets, pedestrians shall not carelessly
or maliciously interfere with the orderly passage of vehicles.
They shall cross wherever possible only at intersections, but
where intersections of streets contain no marked crosswalks
pedestrians shall not be guilty of negligence as a matter of
law for failure to cross at such intersection. They shall cross
only at right angles.
(b) Pedestrians may cross in intersection diagonally when
all traffic entering the intersection has been halted by lights,
semaphores or signals by a peace or police officer. (Code 1959,
§ 18-161.)
