Jaywalking is a made-up crime created by car company lobbyists to make it more appealing to drive than to walk.

In WA, all intersections are already crosswalks, but using an unmarked crosswalk is dangerous because drivers either don't know or don't care. 90% of what is perceived as "jaywalking" actually happens at legal crossings; the rest is on intentionally hostile roads, often in poor neighborhoods

It should be drivers' responsibility not to hit pedestrians, period.
