Coatesville Police plan to more rigorously
enforce the city's existing jaywalking laws, Chief William Matthews said recently.
“People just seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are endangering themselves and endangering children that are sometimes with them,” Matthews said during a recent interview. “We need to bring attention to it.”

The crackdown will begin with a grace period, during which time jaywalkers will merely be warned, not cited by officers, unless the offender’s behavior is “excessively dangerous or disruptive,” the chief said.
