That's the Ballarat way!
I cringe knowing you are fully correct. :

I much prefer Melbourne to here now, I never thought that would happen. Melbourne drivers on the majority seem to move logically.

I was one who got done for that, even though there were no cars going either way, I should have waited.

Had I actually waited another 10 seconds for the light to change, and kept the the 'law', I would have noticed the policeman with his big bright ticket book smiling away on the corner.

Back in the Philippines about 5 years ago, if you were caught jaywalking you copped a fine AND had to do push-ups or squats right on the street, depending on how generous the cop was feeling at the time.
I'd pay to see that in the Melbourne CBD!
