Just about everybody on the streets of New York City seems to jaywalk — but now it's no longer illegal.
Supporters of the measure to decriminalize jaywalking said enforcement was often discriminatory.

“Penalizing residents for crossing the street as they go about their day is outdated and unnecessary, especially given how disproportionately these penalties have been enforced," she said.
