Jaywalking is definitely a crime and a concept in the U.S. In urban environments where speed limits are usually lower, the laws are generally unenforced (source: I'm a serial jaywalker) however you definitely can get a ticket crossing a busy highway.
- dtparr 11y agoI originally interpreted his phrasing the same way as you, but I think it's a bracketing thing: > This doesn't happen in countries unlike the US where "jaywalking" is not a crime or even a concept. I think it should be "This doesn't happen in (countries unlike the US) where "jaywalking" is not a crime of even a concept" rather than how I initially read it "This doesn't happen in countries unlike (the US where "jaywalking is not a crime or even a concept.)"
