No, jaywalking just means you walked across the road where it wasn&#x27;t allowed. The road can be empty, with a low speed limit, and enough distance to safely cross without any car getting to you. That&#x27;s pretty much when I run across the road. I also find intersections are more unpredictable in less-dense, areas than crossing about 20-30 yds away from it. Crash data supports my point about intersections.<p>So, safety risk is low and I&#x27;m a criminal anyway. How to not be a criminal? Stop traffic and reduce others&#x27; productivity using the crossing lights. What a choice... So, I just kneel down, keep looking back and forth, wait for traffic to be nonexistent, and then sprint across the road far from intersection. Has benefit of conveying to cops watching that I was playing it careful while saving everyone else a stop. Tested it in front of a few cops with success. :)
