RE: 7 Strange, Remarkable, and Unexpected Experiences with Culture in Madrid, Spain
I think J-walking tickets are only a thing in the US. Here nobody gives a toss if you cross against the lights, or cross not on the crossing. Just as long as you take care to watch out for traffic, all is good!
Sometimes I think US law enforcement is way too focused on trivial things like j-walking...then again, I've seen much more blatant stupidity in the US than in other countries. It also helps that (from the European countries I've seen) people don't have their noses glued to their cell phones and stay more alert. ;)
