They know about jaywalking as something about walking across the street, they know it's a crime somewhere, so they just assume that jaywalking is a crime pretty much everywhere and applies to anything not involving a crosswalk (outside a residential area at least). There's also the safety factor of crossing at marked crosswalks only, especially in high traffic metropolitan areas. | |

Basically any intersection, including T-intersections or half T-intersections (the ones that if you walk across, you'll be in the center middle lane; I don't know a better name). Basically any right-angle intersection except marked "no crossing" or having stoplights is okay to walk? That's basically almost every intersection, but I don't see people walking on unmarked crosswalks at intersections in California, at least -- most people consider it jaywalking despite the law saying otherwise. | |
