It is if on a designated motorway, motorway slipway or any other highway designated as a 'special road' under the Road Traffic Act 1984.
If a person uses a special road in contravention of this section or of regulations under subsection (2) above, he shall be guilty of an offence.
- kristofferR 9y agoNobody is having a problem with walking on motorways being banned - we're talking about this kind of jaywalking (walking across non-busy regular city streets, especially while black): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJFqvRwOiis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJFqvRwOiis
- thinkingemote 9y agoThat would be walking not jaywalking. A pedestrian cannot be on the motorway let alone cross it.
- andrewaylett 9y agoI never really thought of that as "jaywalking" -- it's illegal to even be beside a motorway; you can't easily legally get into a position to walk across the road.
