It is not surprising that people in the United Kingdom have no idea what “Jaywalking” is because the name “Jaywalking” was coined in the United States. In point of fact, we do not believe that they have something that is comparable because they have a more culturally evolved society.
The fact that they refer to their crosswalk as a “zebra crossing” gives you a good hint as to what you might expect to find there. Which nation gives its pedestrian crossings the name “zebra crossings”? The same nation in which residents, it would appear, are oblivious to the concept of jaywalking.
