Arabic translation:عبور الشارع في غير مناطق عبور المشاه / في غير الأماكن المخصصة لذلك
Explanation:
A bit long, but I don't think there's a more concise expression in Arabic.


Jaywalking is a term used to describe when a pedestrian crosses the street outside designated crossing areas. In common North American use, the term generally refers to someone crossing a major street outside a designated crosswalk or intersection in jurisdictions where this is illegal.
