Why is walking on the motorway called "J " walking ?
what does the J denote ? Additional Details i know its an American term...
It isnt in the UK we have no such offence its an American term

It is a compound word of the words jay and walk; "jay" refers to a foolish rural person—a rube—unfamiliar with city ways. No historical evidence supports an alternative folk etymology by which the word is traced to the letter "J" (characterizing the route a jaywalker follows).

I don't know, maybe someone was crossing the motorway while reciting the alphabet and only managed to get to J.

Not just walking on a motor way - any illegal and/or irresponsible crossing of a road is known as JAY walking, A Jay being a foolish person. The term is not used in any UK laws .

I used to think jay walking was escaping from prison until a few years ago!
A Singaporean girl I knew was horrified when I walked across the road without waiting for the lights. Let me clarify; there was no traffic!
If you walked on the motorway, you would be called a schph. Onomatopoeia for you!
Tis an American term.
Miss You Tommy :(
I have never seen anyone walking on the motorway! I go up the M27 & M3 everyday... :s
