I think you are talking about jaywalking, but Europe and the US are really big.

In LA you get a ticket for jaywalking, while in NYC everyone crosses anywhere including weaving though moving traffic. And some cities in Maine the pedestrian always has the right away at cross walks and otherwise don't have lights.

Isn't that the very point of a crosswalk?

Most crosswalks I come across are only the designated safe place to cross. You still have to wait for the light.
