AMMAN — Crossing the street
by pedestrians from unauthorized or dangerous places without caution is a wrong
and dangerous behavior, particularly when considering that pedestrians
accounted for the majority of fatalities in traffic accidents in 2022, totaling
36.1 percent.
Article (38) of the amended Traffic Law
specifies that a fine of JD15 shall be imposed on anyone committing the
violation of "crossing the road in places not designated for pedestrians,
despite their availability,” Alsaa reported.
According to the details observed around the
clock, the amended law places the responsibility for traffic on pedestrians if
they fail to use designated crossing areas when available.
