I crossed the road while the traffic light still showed red ... twice!
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
Not sure, but I think so. But it definitely not legal in Germany!
Not that it's worth prosecuting.
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
I think if you are at a designated cross walk you can cross anytime traffic allows even if the signal isnt walk.
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
But red times red is green
