The town closest to me has seven on main street alone and two temporary ones for when the catholic school or funeral home are in use. Maybe that's because of it being a rural town or maybe because of the university and bars, hell if I know.
In the town I'm talking about, you'll get a $50 fine for jaywalking and $150 if you impead traffic or make a vehicle brake hard to avoid you, I'm not sure what happens if said jaywalker actually causes an accident, which has happened before I'm sure. I'll check the police log tomorrow morning since a jaywalking moron got creamed by a school bus this morning (I know he jaywalked because he got smacked at the pawn shop which doesn't have a crosswalk)
