the conflict that occurs when- a person starts crossing the street, expecting the car to continue... the car slows down and it makes for a frustrating and potentially dangerous situation: if there is another car coming from behind and doesn't know why the car in front of them stopped.

Since then I have found that people often blindly follow, so your decision to Jaywalk ought to be carefully considered before you do, chances are the consequences could involve more then yourself.

The dangers of taking it too far: in the Bronx, I noticed some people that, once they started walking when they weren't supposed to, stopped discerning if it was safe to cross at all and just charged in front of any car, in expectation that they would stop.

Finally: When in Rome, determine if the pace in your city is acceptable for jaywalking.

Popular consensus is the real law, in a government by the people and for. This site is a forum for citizens to work on just that.
