Ok, well if you want to be nitpicky. The regulation doesn’t define jaywalking, rather § 7 (4) makes it de facto the case, however it allows for crossing when there are no crossings nearby, which would mean it is not in all cases a violation.

@47363 @abbadon420 @Venat0r
The StVO makes crossing the street anywhere else when a designated crossing is nearby is technically a violation. Depending on how much work the “almost” where you want, means in your definition, it sounds similar. I’m not sure what your point is though.
Do you not think traffic regulations lean in favour of cars in Germany?

@47363 @abbadon420 @Venat0r
§ 7 (4) of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) makes crossing at a red light a fine, other parts suggest if you endanger traffic by not crossing near a designed crossing can be punishable.
Anecdotally, I have been stopped by police for cycling though a (cycle+pedestrian) crossing just after the lights changed. And I know of this happening to people walking as well

@abbadon420 @Venat0r
In Germany and Spain (both countries with domestic auto industries - ahem auto-lobbyists :obey: ) jaywalking is illegal and you can get a fine, the Police (cunts) will fine you if you do it, and if someone ends up killing you, well, the Police favour the car drive (of course they do) and the worst Auto murders get is a 3 year driving ban. Germany is car-brained :(
