Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed the Freedom to Walk Act, which gives allows Californians to cross the street outside of a formal intersection, if safe to do so, without being ticketed. The law says that pedestrians can only be ticketed for jaywalking if there is immediate danger of a collision. Always make sure to be safe and cross any street with caution.
