Crosswalks shall be established and maintained at all intersections within the business districts and at such intersections outside such districts, and at other places within or outside said districts where the City Manager determines that there is particular hazard to pedestrians crossing the roadway.

No pedestrian shall cross a roadway at any place other than by a route at right angles to the curb or by the shortest route to the opposite curb except in a marked crosswalk.

No person shall stand in any roadway other than in a safety zone in a crosswalk if such action interferes with the lawful movement of traffic. This provision shall not apply to any public officer or employee, or employee of a public utility when necessarily upon a street in line of duty.
