In Atlantic City, pedestrians seem to think that they can cross the street wherever and whenever they want. They consider this their right and feel emboldened by this law. Somehow, they've missed the part about Jaywalking and obeying crossing signals. I've actually witnessed pedestrians coming to a crosswalk and not looking at all or caring whether the light was green in their direction - they simply just walked into the crosswalk - to the noise of screeching brakes ! As for police enforcement - I've never even seen anyone warned about Jaywalking....... and I've watched Police Cars drive right by Bicycles traveling on the road AGAINST the traffic! - another traffic Hazard that is against the Law but rarely enforced.
