Not sure if it's everywhere - but where I am it is actually illegal to cross when it says don't cross and you can get a ticket for it. (not saying it's actually enforced).
- dexterdog 3y agoThat is true in most places I have ever been.
- nick_ 3y agoOh those are widespread. In my experience, even where those laws don't exist, they are believed to exist by the brainwashed, car-obsessed population.
- Clamchop 3y agoJay walking laws are slowly being walked back in some places. The history of such laws are interesting, by the way. That said, most of the time and in most places I've been, the de facto reality is that it's essentially lawless. Neither pedestrians nor drivers are being policed effectively and they all kind of do whatever.
- ck425 3y agoI still find the concept of jaywalking absurd. It doesn't exist in the UK and I first heard about it from an American friend at Uni who was shocked I would "jaywalk" in front of a police officer. I genuinely thought she was winding me up.
