Definitions. For the purpose of this section, unless otherwise expressly
stated, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively
ascribed to them as follows:
As defined in § 340.01(22), Wis. Stats., all public
ways and thoroughfares and bridges on the same. It includes the entire
width between the boundary lines of every way open to the use of the
public as a matter of right for the purposes of vehicular travel.
It includes those roads or driveways in the state, county or municipal
parks and in state forests which have been opened to the use of the
public for the purpose of vehicular travel and roads or driveways
upon the grounds of public schools, as defined in § 115.01(1),
Wis. Stats., and institutions under the jurisdiction of the County
Board of Supervisors, but does not include private roads or driveways
as defined in § 340.01(46), Wis. Stats.
An area dividing opposing lanes of traffic, excluding turn
lanes. They can be comprised of raised islands or surface level pavement
marking and may also encompass pedestrian safety zones.
As defined in § 340.01(43), Wis. Stats., any person
afoot or any person in a wheelchair, either manually or mechanically
propelled, or other low-powered, mechanically propelled vehicle designed
specifically for use by a physically disabled person, but does not
include any person using an electric personal assistive mobility device.
A raised island or median that divides a highway at an intersection
or pedestrian crosswalk, usually separating opposing lanes of traffic,
and offering refuge to pedestrians attempting to cross the highway,
thereby allowing them to identify adequate gaps in a single direction
of traffic before completing a crossing. Pedestrian safety zones are
typically constructed at locations where speed and/or volume of traffic
make crossing hazardous or the number of traffic lanes increases a
pedestrian's exposure to traffic.
As defined in § 340.01(54), Wis. Stats., that portion
of a highway between the regularly established curblines or that portion
which is improved, designed or ordinarily used for vehicular travel,
excluding the berm or shoulder. In a divided highway the term "roadway"
refers to each roadway separately but not to all such roadways collectively.
B.
State traffic laws adopted.
(1)
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section, the statutory
provisions of Ch. 346, Wis. Stats., describing and defining regulations
and responsibilities with respect to presence of pedestrians on highways,
excluding penalties to be imposed, are hereby adopted and by reference
made a part of this section as if fully stated herein. Any future
amendments, revisions, or modifications of the statutes incorporated
herein are intended to be made part of this section.
C.
To minimize the potential for conflict arising from a driver's obligation
to yield to a pedestrian lawfully crossing a highway, which includes
reducing speed or stopping if necessary, to avoid endangering, colliding
with or interfering in any way with pedestrian travel, no pedestrian
shall loiter or be dilatory in crossing the highway once traffic has
yielded the right-of-way.
(1)
Pedestrians may pause at a pedestrian safety zone located at an intersection
or crosswalk, or a median being utilized for the same purpose, but
must be expeditious in continuing across the remaining roadway once
they have secured the right-of-way and an adequate gap exists to complete
the crossing.
(2)
It shall be deemed a violation of this section if a pedestrian fails
to complete a crossing and remains in a pedestrian safety zone or
on a median through two traffic control signal cycles or adequate
gaps in traffic.
D.
Penalty for violation of this section.
(1)
Any person who shall violate any provision of this section shall,
upon conviction thereof, forfeit an amount as prescribed in the Uniform
Forfeiture and Bond Schedule, together with the cost of prosecution.
(2)
No person shall forfeit an amount in excess of the maximum fine or
forfeiture allowed in the Wisconsin Statutes for the same offense.
