Is jaywalking illegal in Norway?

Partly. Jaywalking is restricted in Norway. Only a dangerous red-man crossing is an offence; otherwise free.

Pedestrians may not start crossing on a red man if it impedes traffic or is dangerous; crossing elsewhere is legal. No fine amount or 2025-26 report found.
