Los Angeles: jaywalking is more expensive to park illegally
Los Angeles is repressing passersby that circulate in the city illegally, particularly those that cross roads outside the walkways or when the signal is red. However, the fines applied to these transgressors are heavier than those applied to drivers who do not respect the code.The cheapest ticket for parking in prohibited places in this Californian City is €42, and the most common one is €53. Comparatively, cross a street illegally â€" an "art" that is already known for "jaywalking" â€" can cost €144, referred to Quartz.The effort that the authorities are doing to punish violators legally is a reaction to the revitalization of downtown Los Angeles, which brought more people into the streets without their cars. The problem is that the city was built for cars and not to passersby. In fact, the "jaywalking" is encouraged by the automotive industry, that by making the streets dangerous for passersby benefits from an increased demand for automobiles.Foto:  ubrayj02 / Creative Commons
