What does it mean to jay-walk and can you get arrested for jay-walking?

it means illegal pedestrian crossing of a street..

Yeah you can get arrested for that.

it means walking across a road when you are not supposed to. people arrested all the time for jaywalking. in my school, we can get even fined if we’re caught jaywalking in campus.

It means to walk accross a road shared by cars without the use of pedestrian crossings or lights. I’m pretty sure you do get arrested and then recieve some sort of punishment. I think it’s a reasonable law because too many people get killed on our roads everyday and we don’t need more idiots running infront of cars.

It’s crossing the road where you’re not supposed to, and I don’t think the police really car because once I did it in front of a cop lol and he didn’t say anything.

J-Walking is crossing the road anywhere that is not marked as a pedestrian cross walk. It is an illegal offence and you can be charged for doing it.
