About: Jaywalking

An Entity of Type: Wrongdoing100732746, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Jaywalking is the act of pedestrians walking in or crossing a roadway that has traffic, other than at a designated crossing point, or otherwise, in disregard of traffic rules. The term originated in the United States as a derivation of the phrase jay-drivers (the word jay meaning 'a greenhorn, or rube'), people who drove horse-drawn carriages and automobiles on the wrong side of the road, before taking its current meaning. Jaywalking was coined as the automobile arrived in the street in the context of the conflict between pedestrian and automobiles (also then known as horseless carriages), more specifically the nascent automobile industry.

  • Jaywalking is the act of pedestrians walking in or crossing a roadway that has traffic, other than at a designated crossing point, or otherwise, in disregard of traffic rules.

Jaywalking was coined as the automobile arrived in the street in the context of the conflict between pedestrian and automobiles (also then known as horseless carriages), more specifically the nascent automobile industry. Jaywalking laws vary widely by jurisdiction. In many countries such as the United Kingdom, the word is not generally used and, with the exception of certain high-speed roads, there are no laws limiting how pedestrians can use public highways. This has caused confusion among British people visiting countries with such laws, with the BBC reporting on a case where a man from the UK got arrested in the U.S. city of Atlanta for crossing the road. Legal texts in other countries use different concepts, such as Rules applicable to pedestrians in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. One member of this convention, the United Kingdom, does not have jaywalking laws; its Highway Code relies on the pedestrians making their own judgment on whether it is safe to cross based on the Green Cross Code.

  • 무단횡단(無斷横斷)은 횡단보도와 같이, 도로를 건널 수 있는 곳이 아닌 다른 곳에서 도로를 횡단하는 행위이다. 즉 보행자가 횡단보도나 육교로 건너는 것이 아닌 차도로 건너는 교통 사고의 유형이다. 자동차가 오는 것을 느리다고 생각할 수 있어 괜찮다고 생각하는 사람들이 많다. 하지만 자동차의 속도는 사람이 생각하는 것과는 다르게, 상당히 빠른 것이 보통이다. 또한 무단횡단의 경우, 다른 교통 사고의 유형과는 달리, 사람 자체가 충격을 온몸으로 받아버리기 때문에 교통 사고의 유형 중, 가장 위험하다고 할 수 있다. 사망률이 다른 교통 사고 유형의 10배에 달한다. 다만 횡단시설이 반경 100m~200m내에 없는경우 도로를 최단거리로 통행하도록 규정이 돼있으므로 이는 무단횡단이 아니다.

  • Jaywalking is een Engelstalig begrip voor een situatie waarin een voetganger een rijbaan met gemotoriseerd verkeer beloopt of oversteekt. Het woord vindt zijn oorsprong in jay-drivers, waarmee vroeger bestuurders werden aangeduid die met een paard en wagen of auto op de verkeerde weghelft reden. Er is geen rechtstreekse Nederlandse vertaling voor jaywalking, maar de betekenis kan omschreven worden als "roekeloos en/of onwettig oversteken". Het begrip jaywalking wordt veel gebruikt in de Verenigde Staten, waar de verkeersregels voor voetgangers strenger zijn dan in landen zoals het Verenigd Koninkrijk.Wetsteksten in diverse landen verschillen in de mate waarin het oversteken van een weg door voetgangers aan strenge regels onderhevig is. De Voorschriften voor voetgangers in het Verdrag van Wenen inzake het wegverkeer geven de verdragsluitende partijen hiervoor de ruimte. (nl)
