‘I’m walking here!’: jaywalking legalized in New York City

New law, letting people cross street outside of crosswalk, ends racial disparities in enforcement, council member says

The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

    It may or may not be “condescending” to tell people they’re wrong, but it doesn’t make them right or change the basic facts.

    I’d recommend checking out a different community since you seem to be very invested in making excuses for pro car people, and less interested in challenging people’s assumptions about cars.
