> Good morning,
>

Chief Hooper forwarded me your request for information below. Based on your
request we pulled all citations related to the following North Carolina
General Statutes:

- § 20-172: Pedestrians subject to traffic-control signals
- § 20-173: Pedestrians' right-of-way at crosswalks
- § 20-174: Crossing at other than crosswalks: walking along highway
- § 20-174.1: Standing, sitting or lying upon highways or streets
prohibited
- § 20-174.2: Local ordinances; pedestrians gathering, picketing, or
protesting on roads or highways
- § 20-175: Pedestrians soliciting rides, employment, business or funds
upon highways or streets

Attached please find a spreadsheet detailing all citations during the
requested time frame. Please note: if the font is red and another charge is
listed besides the Pedestrian charge that means in addition to the
pedestrian charge there was another higher charge.

Thank you,
Christina Hallingse
