Can I cross the road?
<p>Scenario (see mostly accurate diagram below):</p>

<ul>
<li>normal road with traffic lights for cars (horizontal)</li>
<li>no traffic lights for cars (vertical)</li>
<li>horizontal traffic lights are red (cars stopped)</li>
<li>cars going up (vertical) or going down (vertical) and no cars turning up from horizontal lane (ie safe to cross)</li>
<li>no pedestrian lights (horizontal)</li>
<li>pedestrian lights (vertical)</li>
<li>location: Canada</li>
</ul>

<p>Question:</p>

<ul>
<li>Can I legally cross (and not be considered jaywalking) in the scenario if I am at the top right and want to go to the top left? (circled woman in diagram, assume cyclist is not there)</li>
</ul>

<p>I think that the rule is to look both ways and cross only when no one is coming. Also, since this is a crosswalk, turning traffic and traffic approaching you is supposed to yield.</p>
