"Let's be real, every New Yorker jaywalks. People are simply trying to get where they need to go. Laws that penalize common behaviors for everyday movement shouldn't exist, especially when they unfairly impact communities of color."
"The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk, and allows for crossing against traffic signals. However, pedestrians are warned they do not have the right of way and should yield to traffic."
"All road users are safer when everyone follows traffic rules. We continue to encourage pedestrians to take advantage of safety mechanisms in place - such as daylighting."
