  Is it true that is illegal in the US? It’s pretty normal in the UK.

    Jay walking, it is illegal in some places, almost never enforced

    Illegal in some states I think. Fun fact when the term jaywalking was introduced, the term jay was a legitimate insult, meaning something like country bumpkin

    Not sure, but I think so. But it definitely not legal in Germany!

      Not that it’s worth prosecuting.

    Funny thing is that in poland the fine for jaywalking is lower than a fine for crossing on a red light, so you can just go around the crossing

    I think if you are at a designated cross walk you can cross anytime traffic allows even if the signal isnt walk.
