Top Left Panel: This panel shows the pedestrian crossing with no visible jaywalking. The crossing stripes are clear, and there are no pedestrians on them.
Top Center Panel: Similar to the top left, it shows the crossing, and there is no evidence of jaywalking.
Top Right Panel: This panel is mostly obscured by an overlaid image of a person's face, making it impossible to determine if there is any jaywalking.
Bottom Left Panel: It is difficult to discern specific details because of the low resolution and the angle of the shot. The red text overlays may be covering some parts of the scene, but from what is visible, there do not appear to be any individuals on the crossing.
Bottom Right Panel: This panel contains text and does not provide a clear view of the pedestrian crossing or any individuals that might be jaywalking.
