So people just cross the road here? Like they don’t wait for the light every time? When I was a kid everyone told me that if I jaywalked I would get run over. I was walking around yesterday and a bunch of people just jaywalked right in front of cop. The cop was doing something else but wtf! If you are from Boston could you please explain this to me.

When I was around 11, my family took a trip to Washington DC, and continued treating traffic laws as suggestions.
We got stopped by a cop who proceeded to cite us for jaywalking.
My father handed over his license, and the cop looked at it, sighed, and declared in a rather weary tone that while he knew that jaywalking was “the Massachusetts state sport,” politicians could and would run us over. So stop it as long as we were in DC.
We did not get a citation and have referred to the Massachusetts State Sport every time we have jaywalked since then.
Well, my dad used to yell “Cmon, they can’t hit all of us!” but that’s honestly just him being a weirdo.
