Answer 2

j-walking is when for example you cross in the middle of the street to get across. You are suppose to use the crosswalks at the intersections but not always...sometimes there are legal crosswalks in the middle of the street for example in San Antonio, TX. The cross walks are designed for pedestrian safety.
According to Wilkipedia: Jaywalking is an American English term used to describe when a pedestrian crosses the street without regard to traffic regulations. In common use, the term generally refers to someone crossing a busy street outside of a designated crosswalk.

When used in the literal sense, jaywalking specifically refers to violation of pedestrian traffic regulations, and is therefore illegal wherever those regulations are enforced by law.

In many countries, such regulations do not exist, and jaywalking is an unknown concept.
