cruzar la calzada imprudentemente;
jaywalker (noun) peatón, imprudente
jaywalk (instransitive verb) cruzar imprudentemente
Crucé imprudentemente. I jaywalked. (preterite past - one off, a certain time etc)
Cruzaba imprudentemente. I (used to jaywalk) jaywalked. (imperfect past - over a long period)

Hola,
No creo que hay una palabra exacta... Tendría que ser algo como "peatón imprudente" o "cruzar en el lugar indebido" o "cruzar imprudentemente"... We will see what other options are offered.
Good luck.
