One thing that's not mentioned in the article is that US has pretty much the strictest jaywalking regulations. E.g. jaywalking within city-limits is pretty common (and accepted and legal) all around Europe, without any significant mayhem...
- beardyw 2y agoYes I agree, though I would worry that drivers would take some time to get used to it, and those from outside may not know. In the UK we cross on red pedestrian lights if the road is clear, and it's obvious that other nations are not used to it.
