In Belgium it's not necessarily enforced... But getting hit while crossing in places where there's no pedestrian crossing, might get you a ticket for attempted suicide. That being said however... I know of some crossings with lights, that police officers will use if they need to meet their quota of traffic tickets.

So there is a country where you can legally own a tank, an assault rifle, a grenade launcher, and with some paperwork a M109 Howitzer self-propelled artillery cannon. But not a chocolate egg, a dart, or a menthol cigarette because those are "too dangerous". Sure makes sense!

That food safety law only applies to manufactured products. Products that naturally have inedible parts, such as peaches or apples, are safe as long as the producer isn't intentionally putting something else inedible, such as pieces of plastic, in their products. Since Kinder eggs don't naturally grow toys inside of them, they 100% break that food safety law.

@NotJustBikes Год назад

I couldn't pay for a better channel recommendation. Thanks! You hinted at it at the beginning, but you didn't even get to the topic of zoning. Because of strict euclidean zoning, you can't open a shop or an office in your neighbourhood. That means that people in new neighborhoods, built within the past 50 years or so, are very unlikely to live within walking distance of any shop, office, or medical centre. This means almost everything requires a drive, which generates a huge amount of car traffic in these neighbourhoods. Also, in most US neighbourhoods you can't even add an apartment in your garage, or a basement apartment. You can't buy a house and turn it into 2 or 3 apartments. And that's not even getting into what other restrictions might be in place because of your Homeowners Association (HOA). And finally, in the Netherlands I enjoy another freedom I could never fully achieve in the US or Canada: the freedom to not to have to drive.

Fun fact, Kinder Joy wasn't even made with the US ban in mind, it was introduced in the Summer of 2001 in Italy (under the name " Kinder Merendero") in order to fill the gap, as Ferrero doesn't sell many of its products during the season to avoid them being ruined by the heat.

In a matter of minutes after the first police officer stopped me I was surrounded by multiple police vehicles and angry looking men. After asking for my ID and info things turned south fast as they did not recognize Puerto Rican license as a legitimate form of ID and accused me buying and using fake ID's and failure to identify to a Police Officer which is an arrestable offence, they told me. Thankfully I had my passport in my backpack since I had just barely got out of the airplane and was only given a bad time, a warning and a couple of dirty looks.I went to see Micky Mouse but got to meet Uncle Sam instead.

In Canada, Jaywalking is legal until a pedestrian walking outside of designated pedestrian areas interfere with traffic. This means that as a pedestrian who is crossing without a crosswalk, you must yield to motorists on the road.

@myriamickx7969 Год назад

Jaywalking : US is a country with terrible records of lack of safety for pedestrians. Why? Because in the US, everything is designed for cars and driving, and no amount of safety regulation is geared towards protecting the "weak” users, i.e. the pedestrians and cyclists. Instead of encouraging people to drive responsibly, make jaywalking illegal. It's so much easier.

@Jwellsuhhuh Год назад

Yeah it happens a lot especially in cities. Either they were too lazy to put a extra traffic light for turning or the driver doesn’t care. It’s legal, but it’s worse when drivers don’t use their turn signal and just barge in even when pedestrians are waiting on the other side. If that happens to me I usually walk in front of the car as it’s about to turn and stare menacingly at them

What surprises me most is that people make unreasonable laws that prevent symptoms instead of focusing on the source. It doesn't matter what rules or products people make, if people aren't smart enough to not mess it up, well, it's same as forbidding eating the normal way because it's possible to choke. I couldn't imagine a nine year old (come on, people are responsible and smart by then) "accidentally" kill their sibling with a literal weapon before I heard it. Same for crosswalks. One time two women in my city were crossing a street, one absolutely ignored the light and analyzed the road, then crossed, the other waited for green light and got hit by a car anyway. Conclusion: people should be taught to think instead of being "sheilded" from something potentially dangerous if you try hard to make it dangerous.

When my son was a toddler I realized that it is much safer to cross in the middle of the block rather than at an intersection. Sight lines are a lot better, cars are coming at you from two directions instead of four, and there is much less chance of somebody in a car doing something unexpected as in turning without signalling. This is not to say that pedestrians shouldn't use crosswalks, but rather that they put crosswalks in the most dangerous location.

@lisaw150 Год назад

So true! Also, "jaywalking" generally works fine if people aren't idiots about it. In Germany, where I live, you'll basically only get fined for "jaywalking" if you literally cross right at a red light, and even then I've never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket. And you can both walk and drive just fine, even in very busy cities like the one I live in. In Paris, where I used to live, everyone just crosses at red lights and it still works. They just pay attention to traffic, problem solved.

@memkiii Год назад

@@lisaw150 I lived in a small town in Germany, and one Sunday, was waiting at a pedestrian crossing, with a light, on a completely deserted road through town. No vehicles in sight, the crossing light on red. So I started to cross, only to be given a tirade of abuse, and not inconsiderable amount of brolly waving from an elderly German woman that I hadn't seen behind me, who was informing me in no uncertain terms about the folly of my ways. Don't mess with German Grannies, and don't Jaywalk in Germany. At least not while anyone is watching. As for Paris. It doesn't much matter either way there. Even if you wait for a green light, the traffic is not going to pay any attention, so you may as well just cross regardless, (and run if you value your life). Half the time, the traffic isn't even on the road. At least that was my experience. Not that London is much better.

@@memkiii Yes, they expect you to be a role model for the children - even when there are none around. As somebody, who grew-up in Germany, I understand the importance of not breaking traffic laws in front of children, because children copy pretty much every behavior. Unlike American children who are driven by their moms everywhere, German kids are often walking or cycling to school, sports/activities or friends by themselves without parental supervision. Being a good example may prevent a kid from getting into accidents. Still, going crazy on people when there are no kids around is a bit much. I guess less people jaywalk in a society where this behavior is shunned than in a society which relies entirely on ticketing by law enforcement.

I live in Canada and back in the early 90's I was charged with Jaywalking in Toronto at Queen and University. But I challenged the law and won. The Ontario Law at the time, stated that "Jaywalking is closing a road, street, Highway or Motorway (yes, the law is so old it still had "Motorways" listed) in such a manner that you endanger your own live or the lives of other." I did this at 3:000 on a Tuesday morning, as the ticket has time it was issued by the cop. written on it. The only people near that intersection were me and the cop who wrote the ticket, in his PARKED car on 1 block west of intersection, who stopped me as I walked by his car. I asked the Court how my walking across that intersection at 3:00am on Tuesday morning "endangered anyone, including myself. The Judge couldn't think of a way and asked the cop that question, before voided the Ticket. He did mention to the cop that he not try to hard to meet a "quota" of tickets in his shift.

I remember lawn darts. Our favorite game was to throw them directly above ourselves and run away before we got impaled. Our second favorite game was one guy holds a plank of wood as a shield and everyone else throws lawn darts at him. Fun times. I can see why they're banned now because those were the games we came up with as kids.

The highway code in the UK and the road code in NZ are both set out to provide safety for all road users. The road in New Zealand is the area from property boundary to property boundary including footpaths and grassed/cultivated areas, therefore pedestrians are permitted to use the road unless it is specifically prohibited. As a side note, I was told off by a teacher this week for crossing the road away from a pedestrian crossing to talk to an illegally parked driver. I explained that there is no jaywalking law in NZ.

Jaywalking provided me with one of the weirdest experiences of the US ever. Mid 90's and I was in Pittsburgh for a conference. The hotel was on one side of the street and the conference hall on the other. Many attendees were from across Europe and after breakfast would wander outside to go to the conference hall. One day a cop was present and suddenly he got very excited and started shouting at a particular person. The person ignored it because they didn't think it was directed at them. Moments later the cop pulled his gun on the guy and had him on the ground. That was one very confused (and frightened) german wondering what the heck he'd done and if he was going to survive. The rest of us are looking at each other going wtf as the concept of jaywalking was not a thing where we came from.

I don't know for sure if lawn darts are legal in my country (the Netherlands) but in the past 40+ years I traveled all over Europe and never saw them in the first place. So I guess they are not banned because they aren't /weren't a thing in the first place. As for jaywalking in the Netherlands (since you specifically stated the repeal of the law, one that I actually got fined for a few times when it was in play, the last time a week before it got repealed) You are allowed to cross anywhere but using the crosswalk is highly encouraged as it has advantages. In many situations, other roadusers need to give you priority when you want to cross, you basically never have priority when crossing just where ever. And it is the law to give disabled and blind people priority when crossing regardless (unless of course at traffic lights or when part of a military convoy or funeral line)

Crossing the street is a perfectly legal and normal thing to do across the pond here in the u.k. however, don't run out in front of cars and use signalised crossings or crossings where possible. It helps that most city streets are limited to 30m.p.h. with some roads at 20, and sometimes larger roads are at 40. Other more major roads are more commonly 40 or 50, or the national speed limit which is 60 on normal roads and 70 on roads with a centre divider. For my international friends: 20mph = 32kmh 30mph = 48kmh 40mph =64kmh 50mph = 80kmh 60mph = 100kmh 70mph = 112kmh

The Kinder egg thing has nothing to do with the eggs themselves. The government passed a law in the 1930s that made it illegal to put non-food items in food. This is a generally good idea that protects consumers (an extreme rarity in US law). Kinder eggs wouldn't be invented for another 40 years or so. Nobody has bothered to make a carveout for them because it would open the floodgates of unintended consequences, and also because apparently Ferrero hasn't -bribed- lobbied Congress enough to get a carveout bill passed. CBP on the northern border must not have anything better to do with their time. Or they wanted to go to the southern border but got stuck on the Canadian one.

I live in a town where we have a university, a community college, and a military college. While the military cadets are rarely seen around town, (first years cadets are required to stay in uniform at all times when in public), the college is on a huge lot and surrounded by enormous parking lots and is a major bus transfer point. But the University occupies a good chunk of southern downtown next to a hospital, several major public parks, and along some very busy roads, most of which contain large sidewalks. Prospective university students are joking told that their student ID doubles as a jaywalking permit (it isn’t). Even local drivers that frequent the university areas jokingly refer to students as, “hood ornaments” given their known penchant for walking into traffic, moving or not. Homecoming is the one weekend where the university area roads are frequently illegally taken over by students when house parties spill onto the streets and cars fear to drive. It was even cancelled and then moved to the dead of winter a few years back after rowdy students started fires, flipped a parked car and threw beer bottles at police. After that, the city brought in riot squads and mounted units for crowd control for the next several years at tremendous cost to city taxpayers while the university offered to cover a measly portion of policing. Now, both the city and university representatives are out in full force issuing tickets to tenants whose parties get out of control, handing out plastic cups and picking up trash. There was even talk a few years ago about how students were embarrassing the university and should be expelled. The problem was that about half the partygoers were not local university or college students, but rather local and regional high school students, and other college/university student or just plain members of the public. It is a much more contained event now and while many tickets and arrests are made, it is nothing like the drunken mob it had become in the early 2000’s. Sadly, the majority of pedestrian deaths are among seniors either falling in the winter, or being forced onto roadways due to impassable snow covered sidewalks.

The one thing that's always bugged me about jaywalking: the points on a street farthest away from any intersections, driveways, or other access points aren't considered legal to cross. So you're expected to cross right next to the intersection, in a country where "right on red" is legal for most intersections. A country where we trust drivers to actually look before they blindly pilot a 2-ton vehicle right into a pedestrian that's already started crossing, but don't trust them to chuck lawn darts at each other. :V
