I live in DC and some of the roads/circles/crossings are just silly (look in front of DC's Union Station. ) that it's sometimes easier to jaywalk then wait at a crosswalk. If I am at a crosswalk and around tourists, I dread it. There are way more points I am looking at besides left and right. I am looking for a crazy right dudes. I am looking at the signal a road down. I am looking across the street at a Whole Foods underground garage parking to see if someone is coming out of that. Then I cross only after checking those things out repeatedly but then I see the tourists durdling after me and I'm like to myself, "Geez, why are you all even following me.... "
