We've all been caught jaywalking. You will NOT see jaywalking during your vacation here, even though it is rather widespread in other world areas. This is one of the fascinating facts about South Korea that may take some getting accustomed to. South Koreans are extremely conscientious about traffic and pedestrian restrictions, therefore they will always wait for visual confirmation that they are permitted to cross the street, even if the crossing is clear! Fortunately, in a densely populated city such as Seoul, this results in safer streets and fewer traffic accidents.
