Boston used to be the jaywalking capital of the world
When I was in Boston, 1970±1 year, jay walking wasn't limited to pedestrians. On of the first pieces of traffic that I remember seeing was the two cars that met on a side street and passed, not driver side to driver side but passenger side to passenger side. It was a one way street. Sometime later, on a visit, I saw a tourist driving on a six lane one way street looking confused. I was sending thought rays at him imploring him not to ask directions, but he must have had his aluminum foil helmet on. He has no idea how much grief he was spared when the native simply said, "You're going the wrong way."
