English term or phrase: jaywalk
Jaywalking is an informal term commonly used in North America to refer to illegal or reckless pedestrian crossing of a roadway.

pārgalvīgs, neuzmanīgs gājējs / pārgalvīgi, neuzmanīgi pāriet ielu


Explanation:
Oficiāli jaywalk tulkojas kā "neuzmanīgi pāriet ielu". Gluži kā par šoferiem, kurus LV mēdz saukt par "agresīviem braucējiem", diez vai varētu teikt arī par gājējiem, ka viņi ir "agresīvi gājēji", bet "pārgalvīgi" gan varētu būt. "Neuzmanīgi gājēji", "neuzmanīgi pāriet ielu", iespējams, ir pārāk "viegli" teikts.

Par darbību tas nebūtu atbilstoši. Es teiktu, vieglprātīga vai pārgalvīga uzvedība uz ceļa.
