walking across a street outside of marked cross-walks, and not at a corner, and/or against a signal light. If there is vehicle traffic or clear markings of a place to cross, this is a traffic misdemeanor subject to fine, and may be (but not conclusively) contributory negligence in the event of injury to the jaywalker by a vehicle.
【注】 Jaywalking(走路不遵守交通规则),是指行人没有走人行横道,或闯信号灯。Jaywalker,则是乱穿马路的人。
出门走路一定要走人行道(sideways),过马路的时候一定要走人行横道(crosswalks)。走路不遵守交通规则(jaywalking),不但违法而且非常危险。
