Why we made jaywalking a crime in America | Charlotte Observer
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/opi...e65032222.html

https://www.bikewalkmontana.org/reso...destrian-laws/

(1) Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a
marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection
shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.

(2) Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a pedestrian
tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided shall yield the
right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.

(3) Between adjacent intersections at which traffic control signals are
in operation pedestrians shall not cross at any place except in a marked
crosswalk.

Summary: if you're not at a crosswalk, don't get run over. If you are
too lazy to walk a few feet to a crosswalk you may get a jaywalking
ticket if someone hits you. Unless a cop is extremely bored he isn't
going to get out of his car to ticket you unless you're obviously
incapacitated and then the ticket will be for public intoxication.

Jaywalking is more often enforced in cities like NYC where traffic is
dense and highly choreographed.





Why not leave it to peoples common sense.


Because common sense is uncommon. It's more important to keep traffic
flowing than to let every swinging dick wander across the streets
whenever and wherever he wants.


To expand: one of the main streets in town passed by an area where a run
down motel catering to transients was on one side of the street, and a
disreputable saloon on the other. There was no crosswalk so the
clientele of either crossed the four lanes wherever they pleased. When
one was struck and killed the city's response was to redesign the road
to three lanes with a center turning lane, effectively turning a 4 lane
road into a 2 lane one, and lower the speed limit. They also put in a
couple of crosswalks with pedestrian triggered traffic light. The drunks
still cross where they want.

Ironically, the sleazy saloon was replaced by a new homeless shelter --
which is directly across the road from a micro-brewery. Nothing changes.


Should have just let the ****wits die. Someone getting run over is no big deal for anyone else.

Rather vague but it would seem that in London alone in 2015 66
pedestrians were too slow to survive.


London and New York both have about 8 million residents so this is a
fair comparison:

Actually it is a ****-poor comparison. The only really usable stats
in this context would be deaths or injuries per million miles (or km for
the Brits) driven. The more miles driven the more accidents will
happen. You need context to tell you anything.


Number of deaths. Number of people. It's a very fair comparison.

We don't seem to have those sort of problems with pedestrians walking
across roads.

You guys must live in a perfect world, at least by your indications
there is nothing ever wrong in the Yewt Kay.

I don't buy it!

There is *no* Jaywalking law in The UK. That is a fact.


So go play in the traffic, I'd not be mad about it.

I'll bet your street intersections have signs about looking for cars.
Meh. You folks likely don't look both directions when you cross the
streets. Americans are smart. Our mothers told us not to play in the
street for a reason.


We don't have signs like that except at unusual roads where you might not expect cars from a certain direction.

Almost every pedestrian looks both ways subconsciously before crossing. The only time I've ever had to brake to avoid one is when they're distracted, eg their friend across the street shouts to them.

What are you rambling on about? You're the ones who get told off for
crossing a road.


Americans treat their adults like children - a fine case in point is the ****wit who burnt her pussy because she was so bloody stupid as to place a hot drink between her legs while driving. She should have had her license removed for being a stupid bitch.

Situational awareness is a survival tactic practiced by those who
have any sense. When out in public, you keep your head on a swivel
and no one can walk up behind you. It's also a good idea to know
what the hell kind of area you're traveling through.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So gun carriers walk around in constant fear of attack?

Just admit that you're intractably anti gun and that you and your
fellow native countrymen will be easy prey for the Muslim hordes
invading and outbreeding you to the point that you will soon be
overrun by those lunatics who want to kill you. Of course you can
purchase your Koran now, study it and learn enough so you can fake it
when they take over your country and impose Sharia law. You can at
least learn to "act" like a good Muslim and keep your head. I do feel
sorry for poor defenseless people even if they bring it on themselves.
ヽ(ヅ)ノ

[8~{} Uncle Ready Monster

Why are you obsessed with a fear of Muslims?


You mistake caution with fear. I am not afraid of rattlesnakes or even
dislike them. They are rather interesting creatures. If they are poised
to attack me I shoot them. Should I let them strike?

What a strange analogy.


Snakes and Muslims are both evil ****s that need to be eradicated. So a good analogy.

You don't let the thug get close enough before shooting him in the groin. When he bends down in pain and reaches for his mangled testicles, you shoot him in the head. Self defense with a firearm is easy if you have training and practice at a gun range. ( -_・) ︻デ一

You don't need a gun to be aware of your surroundings. Someone once thought they'd be funny and snuck up behind me. I was stood facing a glass doored vending machine and saw his reflection. I spun round and engaged him in a headlock, which amused everyone else in the room.

What if your attacker outweighs you by 45 kg and is 10 cm taller? Plus what if the ****** really, really means to rip your throat out and eat your face? What are you gonna do? Perhaps you could get Trator_4 to call him a racist and he would go away with his feelings hurt? ヽ(ヅ)ノ

I'd be worried he'd steal my gun and shoot me with it. Unless a gun is programmed to only work using your own fingerprints, it's not safe.

You don't let the thug get close enough before shooting him in the groin. When he bends down in pain and reaches for his mangled testicles, you shoot him in the head. Self defense with a firearm is easy if you have training and practice at a gun range. ( -_・) ︻デ一

If I surprised you by walkng up behind you and stuck a loaded gun into
your back by surprise, how would carrying a gun help you. Unless you
had your gun in your hand and ready cocked with the safety catch off all
of the time?
Your gun would be as useless as a rubber duck in yer pocket.
I'd bet a lot of muggings in the US happen that way.

Good grief! People who carry a firearm on their person and have any training have a tendency to be aware of their surroundings. Situational awareness is a survival tactic practiced by those who have any sense.. When out in public, you keep your head on a swivel and no one can walk up behind you. It's also a good idea to know what the hell kind of area you're traveling through.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You don't need a gun to be aware of your surroundings. Someone once thought they'd be funny and snuck up behind me. I was stood facing a glass doored vending machine and saw his reflection. I spun round and engaged him in a headlock, which amused everyone else in the room.

[8~{} Uncle Mental Monster

You're calling *me* a moron!? That is "per capita"
Do you understand that?

Why do so many people have mental illness in the United States ...
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-so-many...-United-States



It's actually 9.6% of your population:

"The U.S. tops the list, with 9.6% of the population experiencing
bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or chronic minor depression
over the course of a year".

https://www.forbes.com/2007/02/15/de...depressed.html


A clue in those statistics is Nigeria's 0.8% rate. Do you really believe
most Nigerians are happy, well adjusted people or is it because they
don't do to doctors for major illnesses let alone 'depression'? Do you
think the popular publications in Nigeria have ads describing the
virtues of Xanax and Zoloft and advising the right thing to say to your
doctor to get your hands on some? Do you think every hyperactive
adolescent gets diagnosed and put on Adderall or does he get a trip
behind the cowshed and a good beating?

What puzzles me is the UK doesn't show up on the lists like France or
the Netherlands. Do the people self medicate with gin or does the NHS
ignore complaints of depression and tells Andy Capp to shut up and get
back to work? By any standards the people in Great Britain should be
depressed. If not, a government formed with Ian Paisley's happy band on
nutters should fix that. What do you think May had to give the DUP to
get them on board?


We drink a lot. That cures depression. But as far as I know many many UK folk go to their doctor and get depression tablets.

Going for the hip adductor muscles is much more useful. Additional
