And that is not a problem in most countries. Jaywalking as a 'crime' was invented by the car lobby. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26073797

In some countries there are no crosswalks at all because everybody jaywalks.

In some cities, you put your life on the line every time you cross the road.

I am not exaggerating.

Do you really want that to become the norm?

Obviously not. But you are presenting a polarized pair of scenarios which I don't agree are the only possible outcomes. I think we can strive for something in the middle, between chaos and robotic like use of crosswalks.
