perhaps locals dont mind on issue of jay walking in this country... they dont provide even a single PEDXING lane along that long stretch of SALWA ... but they're too much meticulous of watching people walking anywhere around... watch to where should you step or else... you'll be fired away...
Guess, they don't know the word "jay walking" in this country. They wouldn't mind at all even if it's green light already, what matters is that you have the "speed" to avoid those 4WD ;)
The OP asked if anyone was charged with jaywalking, not the legality of it. AFAIK nobody in the past 2 years has been charged with jaywalking. Enforcement of traffic rules is a joke here.

...i thought maybe thats the reason why they dont give much attention to jaywalkers, bec. mostly those are expats =)

I don't understand your comment SS, but using a mobile while driving and jaywalking are both illegal.
Using mobile while driving is strictly adhere as it can cause accident while jaywalking is not... amazed! =)
Jaywalking is illegal here, as is walking along the central reservation. There was something about it in the papers a year or so ago.
Quite how the expect you to cross the roads if jaywalking is illegal is beyond me.
crossing a road here is like signing your own death warrant... lol
Dare at your own risk is the name of the game. Dare if you must.!!!
No one was charged because they are all dead or seriously injured.
Nope. I don't believe it is illegal in Qatar. Wht don't you give it a try and then all of us shll know for sure.
.If you think you can handle the cruisers, then
jaywalk all you want..
.
.in this country, you are the one responsible to your own act.......

one must be an extremely fast runner for him to be able to cross the roads here and still make it on the other side in one piece.... :P
but they understood alright. :)
