The PI’s Seattle 911 blog answers a question about whether a jogger can jog in the road when a sidewalk is available:
“It is not legal for pedestrians to walk or jog in the street if a sidewalk is available,” Seattle Department of Transportation spokeswoman Peg Nelson said. “Any enforcement of this practice would have to come from the Seattle Police Department.”
Seattle pedestrians are hesitant to jaywalk, but I think the occasional uneven or overgrown sidewalks probably make breaking this law a little more tempting.
