I don't find it particularly surprising: You tell your kids to only cross the street when the light turns green (or at zebra crossings), and it becomes habit even for adults. Of course jaywalking does happen (at least here in Frankfurt, and I'd guess it's the same for Berlin), but it's discouraged (Think of the Children[tm] [1]), and personally I see no harm in waiting the additional minute if I'm not in a hurry.
