    There were natually no laws or norms saying people shouldnt walk in the street

    There aren’t any today either. But there are regulations about where and when people should walk in the street. Violations of these regulations (not literally just moving your feet back and forth) are known as jaywalking.

      There are laws. They are called the right of way. I will not argue further with someone who is unable to incorporate new information.

        Now you’re doing that strawman thing again. No one said there were no laws. What I said is that there are no laws saying that people cannot walk in the street.

        They are called the right of way.

        Yes, exactly. Jaywalking is the act of ignoring the right of way. Thank you for clarifying that.

        I will not argue further with someone who is unable to incorporate new information.

        Please, by all means, stop arguing.
