Re: Jaywalking

"It's the act of crossing the street outside of the municipality-approved crossing path, an egregious offense in any stuck-up, prudish culture that most definitely thinks it knows better than you."

Often with traffic engineers that hold pedestrians in contempt. There's a particular pedestrian crossing across a major road near me. You push the button to cross the lanes going one way, wait up to ten minutes, whether or not there is any actual traffic, cross to the large traffic island in the middle, then repeat, only now you have to wait for the entire programmed cycle. Anyone that lives around here simply jaywalks and ignores the buttons. This has become a really big example to the students of the school that has their main gate very close to said crossing. They learn how to jaywalk at an early age.
