A. Except in a crosswalk, no pedestrian shall cross a roadway at any place other than by a route at right angles to the curb or by the shortest route to the opposite curb. A pedestrian shall not cross a roadway where prohibited by appropriate signs, markings, devices or by law.

B. No pedestrian may stop or remain in the portion of the roadway designed for vehicular use or in a painted or raised traffic island or median not designated for use by pedestrians except to wait to cross the roadway at the next pedestrian signal or, in the absence of a pedestrian signal, when traffic has cleared or yielded.

C. Before any pedestrian is cited for a civil violation of this section, the pedestrian must be given a warning by law enforcement. The first violation of this section after the warning is given is a civil traffic offense and a second and all subsequent violations of this section is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
