No jaywalking

Learned a word today. It is
Jaywalking is a term used to describe when a pedestrian crosses the street outside designated crossing areas. In common North American use, the term generally refers to someone crossing a major street outside a designated crosswalk or intersection in jurisdictions where this is illegal.
In big cities, like Guangzhou, there are more and more cars on the street. Most of people will obey the traffic rules. However, there is always exception. Some of people will choose to neglect the warning sign. One of opinions is " If I can cross without danger and without forcing car to slow down, then I cross. What is the point to wait??? " Let's imagine, if everyone think like that, what's the case? So, No jaywalking.
In fact, nowadays, more and more people pay attention to environment friendly. It is encouraged to make good use of public transportation. In some places, "Stop driving for a day." has been proposed.
