I know a girl who found out that in her little town in Ohio, jaywalking isn't a crime at all. Now she just crosses wherever and whenever she wants!

In Toronto you can more or less cross where you want, as long as you're not interfering with lawful traffic. If you step in front of a car moving at the speed limit and get hit, it's your fault. If you make a car slow down even a little bit to avoid hitting you, you're at fault.

If there's a big enough gap that no cars have to slow down as you cross, you're good to go!
