Jaywalking could get expensive at UNC

A jaywalking fine of $166 goes into effect at UNC, where previously violations were treated with verbal warnings.

The initiative is an effort to improve pedestrian safety.

The UNC Department of Public Safety said that this is not a project to increase revenues, as $141 dollars of the fine will go to court costs.

Be careful when walking around campus as that short-cut to class may cost you.
