If you "jaywalk" within 20 metres of an intersection you can be fined. This is fairly common if police are doing a blitz - I've seen it happen near universities and high schools.

If you don't already know, you should read about the historical origin of the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking#Origin_of_the_term
