Best Answer

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.

Yes, in fact, jaywalking is illegal almost everywhere in the U.S. simply because it is dangerous.
