Jaywalking tbh can be quite dangerous though. I've had guys just walk out on a 4 lane highway to cross the street with traffic. People getting actual citations or being thrown in jail is obviously ridiculous but also don't jaywalk unsafely
Seems the problem is the 4 lane highway in addition to egoistic drivers not the jaywalking.
Imho it is no business of the state to police risky behavior like that, else it ought to outlaw meat, tobacco, oil, deep frying, roofing and ladders. I would like to have safe systems of transportation (see Netherland biking and pedestrian infrastructure) but after having spent some time in New Dheli I believe that even on high ways car drivers could drive much more safely if they would focus on the pedestrians and just reduce their speed instead of acting like all the space is theirs forever.
