| In the UK, crossing on the red is not 'jaywalking'. It's not illegal per se. Even in situations where pedestrians are banned from roads, e.g. pedestrians on motorways and their slip roads, the offence a pedestrian would be commiting by walking along or crossing such a road is never legally referred to as 'jaywalking'. In other countries, some actions that would be legal in the UK are not permitted, and as you know are refered to as 'jaywalking' and (AFAIK) this is sometimes a legally valid description of an offence. But we're all being a bit picky really - it's similar to the discussion where people try to score points about whether Road Tax is a thing or not. |
