"That's different to the US, where if you try to cross the road at all, outside of a crossing, you're a 'jaywalker'."
This is incorrect. In the United States you can generally cross at any intersection if there is no marked crossing available. In low traffic areas, people often cross the road at will, after checking to see if any cars are coming. 'Jaywalking' is barely a crime and is only rarely enforced.
