Mine is J-walking even though police officers J-walk
I appreciate the law in Massachusetts, USA where jaywalking is so common that the fine was reduced to $1 for the first three times in a year and a whopping $2 for each time after that.
You can’t remove the law, but you can make it silly enough that it’s never enforced.
It seems like traffic lights now go red in all directions, with all walk lights on at the same time, so it’s becoming more common to walk diagonally across intersections as the fastest way.
Yup, there are a few towns and cities in MA that do this. Walking diagonally across and all-walk intersection isn’t quite the same as jaywalking, since in those cases you’re allowed to cross (as long as the walk sign is on).
It’s also way safer to have an all-walk intersection so cars stop hitting people on right turns.
