Pedestrian Crossing Flags SDOT receives occasional requests from neighborhoods to implement a system of crossing flags at marked crosswalks. The Department currently does not install pedestrian crossing flags in the street right-of-way. The public right-of-way refers to the street and sidewalk areas, up until the property line. It includes all poles and posts that hold city signs and generally extends up until the non-street side of the sidewalk.It is permissible for individuals to carry a visual aid (whether a flag, handkerchief, or something similar) on their own person when crossing the street. However, SDOT does not have sufficient funding at this time to implement the basic infrastructure (posts and flags) nor the staff to ensure that the flags are in place on a continual basis. |
