TMK, (fineable) jaywalking generally isn't a thing in Europe, only in USA (due to car manufacturing industry's meddling and lobbying, of course, making the cars first class citizens). One EU country's example: it's perfectly legal to cross any street/road if there is no marked pedestrian crossing within circa 50 meters, with usual common sense requirement of demonstrating one's intention of doing so to the oncoming traffic. Drivers are obligated by law to stop/slow down, and let them pass.
This varies tremendously by city/county within Europe. For example, there are some German cities where crossing a road anywhere other than at a marked crossing not only risks a fine but also will earn disapproving looks from other pedestrians (something I haven't encountered in the states, though I'm not ruling out the possibility that it could occur somewhere).
It varies quite a bit in the U.S. too. I live near Dallas. In Dallas (pop 1.4 million) jaywalking will absolutely result in a very expensive citation. In Fort Worth, 30 miles away (population 800,000) it is of course equally illegal but you can do it with near impunity in front of a police officer. Depends on how relaxed the local culture is and to some extent how dangerous the roads are.
