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.

Well that part doesn’t seem to have worked out. I don’t know if this is part of forgetting how to drive during COViD or just that I started walking around town more, but people turning right on red no longer stop, and barely slow down. It can be dangerous crossing streets, even on a wall signal or with flashing pedestrian lights
