ITB was for the first week, the second two weeks I was working in the same environment most other berlin startups work in.
But yes, it's anecdotal evidence, observed continuously over 3 weeks. And it's an impression, that's all, never claimed to have done exhaustive research :) Like I mentioned in other comments, I obviously realize there are plenty of people who probably jaywalk, in a city of millions that much is certain. But I thought that particular observation reflected a lot of what I had heard from Germans themselves.
Talking about anecdotal ITB observations, two weeks ago the streets around the travel trade fair at ICC looked like some 2nd row parked open air museum for diplomats car choices made in the eighties, with the number of exhibits in the triple digits (Not including the chauffeurs). That's not the norm :)
