Jaywalking in Manhattan, on the other hand is not done and you better not do it within eyesight of a police officer.

Seriously? I have stayed in Manhattan for couple years and done my share of jaywalking occasionally in clear sight of NYPD. May be I am just lucky but this just doesn't resonate with me.

Everyone jaywalked when I was in Manhattan. It's a very pedestrian city.

Substitute Seattle for Manhattan and the point stands.

I live in Seattle, and everyone jay-walks all the time. The hand which indicates stop is widely ignored.

I guess I'm wrong about that then. When I was there last everybody seemed to wait for the light to turn green. I'll edit the original post.

Most people don't jaywalk for safety reasons, not fear of being ticketed.
