A.R.S. § 28-793: Jaywalking Rules
Crossing at other than crosswalk
Is jaywalking illegal in Arizona?
In Arizona, a pedestrian who crosses a roadway outside a marked crosswalk, or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles, and between adjacent intersections with working traffic signals may cross only in a marked crosswalk. This section itself sets no penalty.
