The term ‘jay walker’ for a pedestrian who holds up traffic was created by rich people who wanted the roads to themselves
Originally most people walked along the public roads. Most people liked to walk near the center of the road. That meant that cars would have to slow down.

Just adding on here that Jay was a pejorative meaning hick or hillbilly
Thanks, I should have noted that.
