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.
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.
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.
