Jaywalking has no one-word equivalent in French. It would be translated 'traverser en dehors des clous' (outside the nails that used long ago to mark the pedestrian crossing) or 'traverser n'importe comment' (cross the street without minding the traffic) or traverser quand le bonhomme est rouge' (cross against the man-shaped signal). That's a very minor offense (5 € fine) that the French police never enforce.
Jaywalking is taking a short cut and bolting across a street instead of crossing at a crosswalk. For instance walking diagonally through an intersection
jaywalking is considered illegal. However, the most that will happen with jaywalking is the person would get a fine for it.
The police officer gave the man a ticket for jaywalking.
$100
yes
A jaywalking ticket will not increase your car insurance. It will not put points on your license in most areas or states.
There is no specific act prohibiting jaywalking itself in SA, a police officer however does have a number of more generic offences that what is popularly known as jaywalking could fall under, penalties differ depending on the specific offence.
i do not know... could someone please tell me! 2. Jaywalking is walking, particularly across the road, and paying little attention to other traffic. Due to modern devices such as MP3 players, and their associated earphones, deaths from jaywalking are increasing.
Yes, in fact, jaywalking is illegal almost everywhere in the U.S. simply because it is dangerous. Obviously, it is very hard to go to jail for jaywalking and also very hard to get caught while doing it. I don't even think you get a ticket for jaywalking, just a warning. Anyway, if you do jaywalk (which almost everyone does) be safe and carful.
No, it was legalised in 1997.
