Gotta love how the most efficient place to cross busy urban road networks is ANYWHERE but the junctions where crosswalks always are. Walk down the connector street until there happens to be no traffic, cross right there and then wherever you are on the street. You can just wait til that right moment where the street is totally empty by walking towards the next intersection. Pedestrians crossing at intersections is my opinion often more dangerous and far less efficient for everybody involved, cars and pedestrians included.

Jaywalk like a good, practical criminal.
