Weirdly, it's only really the German speaking areas that have a thing about jaywalking. They take it pretty seriously. The police give school kids road crossing lessons ffs.
I remember being yelled at by a load of blokes in Cologne at about 3am after a night out. Thought I was in trouble until my schoolboy German kicked in and I understood they were VERY distressed at me crossing the totally empty road on red.

Lol I had similar in Finland. I was about 18 and mildly pissed. Decided to cross a road on the red pedestrian phase. Was extremely amused when the car about 300 metres down the road started honking its horn, and continued to do so until it passed me, by which point I’d been safely standing on the far side of the road for fucking ages.
Obvs being 18 and therefore a dick, I decided to abuse this newfound power for the rest of the evening.
Eejit
