Imagine standing on a street corner, shivering In the rain, dead of night, not a soul about for miles Waiting for the light to change

i don't get this. no car, I'm walking. 98% of people just stand there waiting for the machine to tell them they're allowed

Individual Risk Models Vary(tm); depending on intersection design and visibility, I'd rather wait for a signal to minimize the chances of someone barreling through.
-
the intersection definitely is the crucial part here. most often i do this at a lane going into the intersection, more seldomly at those going out (harder to check all angles, especially if unfamiliar)
-
but for the intersection in front of my house i abuse the 7 second phases in between i different directions coming in. the thing is, if you know all the places cars come from, and you check that there's no cars coming from there, you're virtually safe and no one seems to get that
-
this is also the reason i never jay walk in front of approaching cars (and i'm careful even when i have the right of way), but literally 10cm behind them - i trust physics completely, but i don't trust drivers

virtue only exists when it is possible to choose unvirtuously, yeah; that's the big Clockwork Orange takeaway, after all.

People I know are infinitely confused about the concept of or the lack of concept of jaywalking. It's a very unclear thing.
