How does one "legalize" walking? Jaywalking is an absurd concept to begin with.
Step 2. bring cars to the market before proper regulations were a thing
Step 3. aggressively lobby and market that it's the walkers fault for getting driven over
Step 4. actually win over public opinion somehow
Racism. The Jays in jaywalking where probably immigrants with weird hats.
Like halitosis, that term was coined in ads. Ads funded by car manufacturers
Step 1: be American
There are plenty of places you're not allowed to walk for your own safety and the safety of others. It's not a crazy concept, although I do think that jaywalking should be legal
Airports are so annoyingly difficult to walk around.
I prefer walking straight through, personally.
“Right to Travel” == right to walk on and across an interstate freeway where 5000 lb death missiles are hurtling past me at 90 mi/hr.
