jaywalking ticket

Pedestrian crossing fine

A jaywalking ticket is a citation issued by police for crossing a street illegally—typically outside a crosswalk or against a traffic signal.

Enforcement varies widely; some cities actively ticket pedestrians while others rarely bother: I got a jaywalking ticket for crossing mid-block.

The fine is usually minor but can be a pretext for stops in heavily policed areas.
