(Neb. RS 60-6, 152 through 60-6, 158)
A. 
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
B. 
Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
C. 
The driver of any vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any crosswalk, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by police officers.
D. 
Whenever any vehicle has been stopped at a crosswalk or at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, it shall be unlawful for the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear to overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.
E. 
It shall be unlawful for pedestrians to walk in the roadway of any street or highway, except at crosswalks. Pedestrians shall use the sidewalk, if one is provided, when walking between intersections. Where no sidewalk is provided, pedestrians shall at all times walk on the left side of the roadway facing oncoming traffic and shall yield the right-of-way to oncoming vehicular traffic.
F. 
Pedestrians shall not stand, sit or otherwise place themselves in the roadway except when making emergency repairs on a vehicle to render it operable or when under the direction of a police officer.
G. 
Notwithstanding the provisions heretofore made in this chapter and this section, every driver shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon a roadway and shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary and shall exercise proper precaution upon observing any child or any confused or handicapped person upon the roadway.
A. 
Colored signals. At intersections where traffic is controlled by traffic control signals, pedestrians shall not cross a street against a red signal and shall not cross at any place except in a crosswalk. A pedestrian crossing or starting to cross any such crosswalk on a green signal shall have the right-of-way over all vehicles, including those making turns, until such pedestrian has reached the opposite curb or a safety zone. It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to fail to yield the right-of-way to any such pedestrian.
B. 
Pedestrian "Walk" and "Don't Walk" signals. Whenever special pedestrian control signals exhibiting the words "Walk" or "Don't Walk" are in place, such signals shall indicate as follows:
(1) 
"Walk": Pedestrians facing such signal may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and shall be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.
(2) 
"Don't Walk": No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of such signal, but any pedestrian who has partially completed his crossing on the walk signal shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety zone while the "Don't Walk" signal is showing.
Pedestrians shall move whenever practicable upon the right half of a crosswalk.
[Amended 10-7-2003 by Ord. No. 33-03]
It shall be unlawful to conduct a parade or march in or on any public street, alley or other public way or place in the City unless a permit therefor is first obtained from the Chief of Police. Application for such permit shall be filed with the Clerk on forms provided for that purpose. Such application shall set forth the suggested route, the date such parade or march is to be conducted, the time such parade or march, including preparation therefor, for which the street, alley, public way or other place may be used shall begin, the approximate duration of such parade or march, the name of the person or persons or organization or organizations sponsoring or conducting such parade or march, any unusual equipment to be used, and such other information as may be required. The application shall be brought before the Chief of Police, who may grant or deny such application, may alter or change the suggested route, may establish conditions and restrictions as to time and any other matters relating thereto, and may, in his discretion, require a bond of not more than $5,000, with good and sufficient personal sureties, as a condition to the granting of such permit, conditioned to indemnify the City for any loss, damage or liability incurred or caused by the conduct of such parade or march. If the application is approved by the Chief of Police, the Clerk shall issue a permit which shall include the conditions or restrictions or alterations, if any, made by the Chief of Police. In lieu of a personal surety bond, a corporate surety bond may be furnished. If bond is required by the Chief of Police, such permits shall not be issued until said bond and the sureties thereon are approved by the Clerk. Such permit shall be valid only for the time and date set forth therein. In the event that the Chief of Police denies said application, such denial may be appealed to the City Council for further action.
[Amended 9-20-2011 by Ord. No. 23-11]
A. 
In addition to satisfying the requirements of § 382-8.4, any applicant for parade or march permit which will involve the temporary use of any portion of the state highway system, and any special event which will involve the temporary use of any portion of the state highway system, shall comply with the Neb. RS 39-1359.
B. 
Neb. RS 39-1359 provides that any parade, march, or special event approved by the City which will involve the temporary use of any portion of the state highway system shall require formal action by the governing body of the City acknowledging that the City accepts any statutory or common law duty of the state to protect the public from damage, injury, or death and that the state shall not have such statutory or common law duty during the time the City is in control of the portion of the state highway system being used for the parade, march, or special event. The City shall, by official governing body action, acknowledge that it accepts the foregoing duties, and if a claim is made against the state, the City shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the state from all claims, demands, actions, damages, and liability, including reasonable attorney's fees, that may arise as a result of the special event. The City shall further provide 30 days' advanced notice of the parade, march, or special event to the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) prior to proceeding with the use of the state highway system. The notice shall specify the date and time the City will assume control of the state highway property and relinquish control of such state highway property to the state, as well as the beginning and ending locations for the highway closure, including sufficient area for the placement of advance warning and/or detour signing.
C. 
In the event of failure to provide a specific acknowledgment as defined above from the City's official governing body, as well as 30 days' advance written notice now required by law, the state highway system cannot be used for the event.
