So countries like America and Canada even some Northern European nations give you a fine if you cross the road in a non designated place or when the "Red man" is still showing at the crossing. The British however cross when ever they feel like it and it's up to us to decide if it's safe or not to cross. Does your country have a Jaywalking law? Do you agree with the law? Myself I feel it's stupid to have to walk all the way down the road to a crossing just to walk all the way back up, instead of just crossing opposite where your going. For example my Hotel in America was opposite a little restaurant I ate at every day and no crossings where in sight and so we just crossed over. If I had to obey the law it would have took like 10-20mins to find a crossing.
