Default Jaywalking Blitz in Melbourne CBD

I got done today, so remember kids, obey the little red man otherwise the big blue man will give you a $57 fine. I should know better but I'm impatient and don't like missing my vline train waiting for the little green man.

They have been hitting it hard this week outside of southern cross station, my missus work's down there and she see's them there all the time, but as people are so stupid, they continually Jay walk when the police are across the otherside in uniform as clear as day, oh well.

I always thought getting done for J walking was an old wives tale. Until my sister got done in Scarborough in Perth last year.

She was fined for crossing 20 meters up the street instead of using the crossing.

I got done at the Bourke St/Elizabeth St intersection and I wasn't paying attention. Ahh well.

If it's in the middle of the CBD then I'm all for it. Driving through Sydney almost daily and having suicidal pedestrians run infront of me at nearly every intersection, apparently I'm at fault if I skittle one.

If it's outside of the CBD where traffic is a lot less, not that big a deal.

Saw them for the first time in recent memory today at both the King/Collins intersection and the Spencer/Collins intersection.

Lucky I was paying attention and had plenty of time to wait for the green man, my vline train was still 20 minutes away lol.
