The whole jaywalking thing is idiotic. Let pedestrians walk. I live in San Francisco where pedestrians are going to be everywhere and it's really not that much harder. In the UK, you can just cross any non-motorway at any time and it's about whether the situation is safe. Well, fewer fatalities total, fewer fatalities per mile driven, etc. etc.
Genuinely don't think non-highway road crossing needs to be excessively regulated. Human beings will self-organize and the exceptions will not cause significant economic damage. More freedom and less regulation, please.

Heaven forbid pedestrians take advantage of one of the biggest public resources in their community!
(Not advocating careless jaywalking, just pointing out the car-centric mentality makes me sad)
In my experience, there are a lot more pedestrians blindly walking or running across the roads in the past couple months. The drop to nearly zero traffic lulled people into a false sense of security. People are treating every road like a giant sidewalk.
