Tidbit: Jaywalking is more typically associated with hard-charging city dwellers, but it means "country walking". Specifically, the word "jay" colloquially referred to a country bumpkin. Traffic lights were first installed in cities. People from rural areas were not aware of the traffic light system and it was the country folk, not the city people, who were most originally associated with perpetrating jaywalking. Hence, "country walking". [can't read the article because it's blocked in the EU, not sure if they covered this]
