LOUISVILLE, KY. (THECOUNT) — If you were thinking about standing on the street while in Kentucky, think again, because a new set of laws makes it illegal.
The new Pedestrian Safety Ordinance, instituted in Kentucky recently, makes it illegal for people to stand on streets and medians, along with jaywalking. It’s also against the law for drivers to interact with pedestrians, except in “emergencies.”
A local news outlet opened their article announcing the news lay by telling residents they “might start seeing fewer panhandlers along the roads in Louisville.”
LMPD will begin enforcing the new Pedestrian Safety Ordinance that makes it illegal for people to stand on streets and medians, along with jaywalking, reports WLKY on Wednesday.
Fines can range from $25 to $250.
