A pedestrian may not walk along and on a roadway if an adjacent sidewalk is provided and is accessible to the pedestrian. A sidewalk is accessible if the sidewalk is not obstructed, occupied or blocked in such a way as to inhibit the free flow of pedestrian foot traffic.
(Ordinance 476, § 2, adopted 12/6/2005; Ordinance 476-1, § 2, adopted 3/21/2006)
If a sidewalk is not accessible, a pedestrian walking along and on a roadway shall if possible walk on the left side of the roadway or the shoulder of the roadway facing oncoming traffic. The pedestrian shall not impede, obstruct, or disrupt the normal and reasonable movement of vehicular traffic. When walking on the asphalt portion of a road other than to cross a road, pedestrians shall walk single file and at no time walk side-by-side. In any prosecution charging a violation of this section, proof that the defendant named in the complaint was walking side-by-side on the asphalt surface of a road, when one or more moving vehicles are present, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that traffic was impeded, obstructed, or disrupted in violation of this article.
(Ordinance 476, § 3, adopted 12/6/2005; Ordinance 476-1, § 3, adopted 3/21/2006)
(a) 
No person shall place, maintain, cause to be placed or maintained, or allow to remain placed or maintained, any object in such a manner as to encroach on or obstruct any portion of a sidewalk to the degree that the object impedes the free passage on and use of the entire width of the sidewalk by the public.
(b) 
This section does not apply to signs, barricades, or other traffic control devices lawfully in place; objects lawfully in place for the purpose of providing utilities or governmental services, such as utility lines or fire hoses; or any other object otherwise permitted or required by law to encroach upon or obstruct the sidewalk.
(c) 
This section does not apply to temporary, reasonable encroachments upon or obstructions of a sidewalk, such as lawnmowers, portable basketball hoops, and cars parked in driveways that also encroach upon or obstruct a sidewalk, so long as any such encroachments or obstructions are moved upon request of the city or upon request of someone who validly needs to use the full width of the sidewalk, but in no event shall such encroachments or obstructions exist overnight.
(Ordinance 476, § 4, adopted 12/6/2005; Ordinance 476-1, § 4, adopted 3/21/2006)
This article does not apply to temporary, reasonable use of a roadway or alley by pedestrians, other than pedestrian traffic, so long as such use does not interfere with or obstruct traffic. Pedestrian traffic is governed by sections 38-46 and 38-47.
(Ordinance 476, § 5, adopted 12/6/2005; Ordinance 476-1, § 5, adopted 3/21/2006)
