Jaywalking

Jaywalking refers to crossing the street outside of designated pedestrian crosswalks or ignoring traffic signals meant for pedestrians. It is often considered unsafe as it increases the risk of accidents between pedestrians and vehicles. Laws regarding jaywalking vary by location; in some places, it may result in fines. The term emphasizes the importance of following traffic rules to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and drivers, promoting organized movement in urban areas. While it might seem trivial, jaywalking can have serious implications for personal safety and traffic flow.
