Nope. Most European states have them - but it's a CYA/gotcha sort of law, not enforced unless the police desperately needs something to "ping" you for. I have been ticketed for it exactly once - the cop indicated he had a quota of tickets to fill for the month.

Could you give an example of a European country with them? The ones I’m familiar with require a crossing to be used if nearby, that’s it. Or are you counting that as a jaywalking law?

This Wikipedia entry covers many European countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking

Well, the traffic code is a law, and usually defines various rights and responsibilities for traffic users; since there are jaywalking clauses, I would definitely count that.

Yet you disagreed with my original comment and follow up, which state exactly that.
