While searching for information on road safety for a school assignment, you find this post on a weblog. Read the
post carefully and answer the questions that follow. JAYWALKING
The origins of jaywalking, the illegal crossing of a roadway by a pedestrian, lie in a propaganda campaign by the motor
industry in the early 1900s. The word ‘jaywalker’ was first used to describe someone from the countryside who wasn’t
accustomed to the rules of the road for pedestrians in the city, so sould attempt to cross the streets anywhere. In
1913, a department store in New York hired a Santa Claus, who stood on the sidewalk bellowing at people who didn’t
cross the street properly and calling them jaywalkers.
The idea of being fined for crossing the road at undesignated areas or without regard for traffic regulations can confuse
forreign visitors to the US. The UK, Norway and France are among the many developed countries where jaywalking is
not an offence, but their rates of pedestrian injuries are lower than those of the US. However, a handful of countries
have followed the lead of the US and imposed anti-jaywalking measures. Police in China, for example, began fining
jaywalkers in 2013, and in Singapore, jaywalking can lead to a $1,000 fine or a three-month jeail term.
In the US, jaywalking can result in a fine ranging from $190 to $250. As in most countries with anti-jaywalking
legislation, enforcement of the law here is sporadic, often only triggered by repeated complaints from drivers in certain
areas. But jaywalking has been illegal in the US for many decades. According to Jacob Rath, a history professor at the
University of Virginia, a key moment was in 1929 when a petition was signed by the citizens of Cincinnati to limit the
top speed of cars to 25 mph. Though the petition failed, car makers scrambled to shift the blame for pedestrian
casualties from motorists to pedesetrians. Sood, he adds, they also started influencing school safety education by
stressing that “streets are for cars, not for children.” As a result, anti-jaywalking laws were adopted in many cities and
had become the norm by the end of the 1930s.
In the decades that followed, the overriding goal of city planners and engineers was to allow traffic to circulate
unhindered. “For years, pedestrians were essentially written out of the equation when it came to designing streets,”
says Tom Vanderbilt, author of Traffic – Why We Drive the Way We Do. “They didn’t even appear in early computer
models, and when they did, it was largely for their role in blocking vehicle traffic. This has made US cities unusually
hostile to pedestrians,” says Vanderbilt. Jaywalking has become an “often misundertood umbrella term”, covering
many situations in which the pedestrian should, in effect, have the right of way.
In the US, resistance to anti-jaywalking legislation is growing. When the Los Angeles Polilce Department recently
adertised an anti-jaywalking campaign on its Facebook page, respondents accused the police of simply seeking an easy
source of revenue. And in New York, in its effort to crack down on jaywalking, the mayor’s office has come up against
opposition from voters and police officers. Advocates of jaywalking say careless drivers, not pedestrians, are most
often to blame for motorist-pedestrian accidents, pedestrian deaths and injuries, and that there is no evidence to
prove that anti-jaywalking campaigns are effective. They believe that there is too little experimentation with projects
that aim to make US cities more pedestrian-friendly, such as increasing motorists’ awareness of pedestrians and
reducing traffic speeds in urban areas. Leave your comments:
Very interesting facts about jaywalking, but your post is wrong when it states that “it is not an offence in the “UK”.
Jaywalking is an offence in Northern Ireland (part of the UK), although, fortunately, traffic officers rarely enforce
the law. But if and when they do, it can result in either a written warning or a £30 fine. - Ian McInnes. 7
