I'm just thinking about walking to get to downtown, and there's no way I could do it without being somewhere I'm "not allowed".

If I want to cross the 4-lane road just outside my apartment, there is simply no legal way to do it. There is an intersection but no crosswalks and no way to request to cross. I shouldn't have to have a vehicle just to get from one side of the road to the other.

In most states you can cross at any intersection without crosswalks.

And in many countries "jaywalking" is not illegal at all.
