nj, ale kde do toho zapada taky new york, kde ako chodci na cervenu chodia uplne vsetci, vratane policajtov?

A nie je to vynimka, ako naznacuje tento odsek z wikivoyage o seattli:

Seattle pedestrians are noted for their unusual refusal to jaywalk. Unlike many other large American cities (particularly those on the East Coast), in Seattle, you'll see groups of pedestrians patiently wait for the light to change before stepping off the curb, even when there isn't a car in sight. The reasons for it are unclear, though it's often suggested that the local police are particularly strict about enforcing the jaywalking law.
