@kcur893 Kansas City was the first major city in the U.S. to repeal its anti-jaywalking ordinance, after research found that tickets were being disproportionately issued to Black men. It’s a full-circle moment, because Kansas City was also the first city to criminalize jaywalking more than a century earlier. That 1912 arrest set off a series of reactions that would eventually lead to the U.S.’s modern, car-centric traffic laws and sprawling highway system. KCUR’s Mackenzie Martin explains how Kansas City created, and then killed, jaywalking.
