Hello! This looks like Araneus diadematus, the Cross Orb-weaver. This individual might be a bit dehydrated.
The photo was taken in November. She looks like she has oviposited her eggs and is now weak and a lot dehydrated. Orbweavers tend to walk on the ground or floor when they are this weak. Some seek wet asphalt to get some hydration. This is the end of the life cycle. 🙁
