The Jaywalking Dead	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the dumbest things a zombie can do when humans are around is jaywalk, since doing so will turn the undead into roadkill, particularly if their head sustains severe damage. Of course, it's not their fault they end up being easy targets for cars, both on and off the road. After all, they're dead; many of them don't understand the concept of traffic regulations, to say nothing about them probably being visually impaired. If they were half as smart as the zombies from Return of the Living Dead, though, they'd probably look both ways before crossing the road, let alone shambling out in the open at all. If even then they go walking on the roads, well, they probably deserve a special Darwin Award if they get hit. Subtrope of Car Fu. For other ways to kill zombies, see Burn the Undead, Shock and Awe, and the traditional method of Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain.

The Jaywalking Dead / int_222a8847	comment	Not strictly a zombie, but it probably belongs here anyway–towards the end of RoboCop an unlucky goon gets doused in toxic waste, leaving him as a shambling, rotting, but still technically alive mess of a man. Blinded by pain and the toxic waste that caused it, he stumbles into the road only to be promptly split in two by a car.

The Jaywalking Dead / int_32788d4a	comment	In Death Road to Canada zombies will start attacking your car as soon as you get in, even if it means their immediate death once the engine gets going. Zombies also won't bother getting out of the way of a moving car. This isn't necessarily a good thing, as zombies can actually do quite a bit of damage to your car, and keeping your car in good condition is a vital mechanic in the game.

The Jaywalking Dead / int_3287d1e5	comment	In State of Decay, vehicles are arguably the most economical method of mowing the slow, ignorant zombies off the road. Be careful though, as the various cars and trucks WILL eventually take damage (unless you perform a Toyota Tripwire) and catch fire, which makes SUVs one of the best cars to perform mass vehicular manslaughter due to its high durability. This is less recommended for most of the special infected, as they are either hard to hit, or literally more harder to hit.

The Jaywalking Dead / int_b65416b9	comment	Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978): Several zombies are easily cast aside when Roger and Peter start using trucks to block the doors of the mall. Later, when locking the doors from the inside, more zombies are taken out as they drive the silver coupe through the mall. In the remake, the survivors' heavily outfitted shuttle buses are surprisingly less effective because the damn zombie horde is an all but literal ocean of bodies outside the mall. It takes a gas cylinder explosion to remove enough zombies to allow the buses to push through.

If you're going for any of the "Zombie Genocider" achievements, which require tens of thousands of kills in a single run of the story mode (which has a time limit), then there's a very good chance you'll be spending the entire time repeatedly driving back and forth across the most densely-populated area you can find that is accessible by car, since it's really the only way to rack up kills efficiently enough.
