Jaywalking Is Much Safer Than Crossing At An Interesction Crosswalk.
Interesection crosswalks create a false sense of security via the pretense that all motirists, including those in the turning lanes, are paying attention to whether there are people crossing when the "Walk" light is on. When jaywalking, one at least knows that only dealing with 2 - 4 lanes of traffic coming from two different directions and the risk is plainly obvious Also, unless the road itself is curved, there are no blind corners for cars to suddenly come out of .

It depends on too many factors: Where you live, how fast you can walk, how alert you are. Even within a city it varies from neighborhood to neighborhood and cross-walk to cross-walk. There's a spot near my home where crossing in the middle is much better as long as you're paying attention and move with purpose. Yet there's another spot closer to work where a habit of crossing in the middle almost guarantees you'll be run over within the calendar year.
