Jaywalking is also illegal in America, but I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for it, although I think it used to be pretty enforced a long, long time ago.
As kiddies, we're taught that we should always cross at corners and only at corners. One should never run straight across the middle of the road unless there's special pedestrian markings.

Thats weird. My parents ALWAYS taught me to run across the street whenever something heavier than me is about to pass. I wonder why they'd do that?
Well, the cop at the crosswalk never seems to care when he sees us jaywalk, as long as no cars are coming.
I did get a total asshole cop who stopped me for walking across a crosswalk backwards, though. He ranted on for ten minutes and the word 'smartass' was used every other word. It was kinda stupid. And of course, it had to be when my best friends were walking by. They ragged on me for weeks...
