It isn’t a human right as long as there are other viable options. The way the law is written should still be changed. Crossing the road when it doesn’t pose a danger should be allowed and the penalty for jaywalking should be proportional to the danger. Crossing the road in a well lit place where you are easily seen and where no cars are coming should be fine. Crossing in the dark in a high traffic road (at the time) with a high speed limit should be an infraction.
