Yes.  Jump over to the other side just long enough to make your jump, then 
go back.  Try to minimize their number and length (make one jump over many 
instead of many jumps over one).  Keep them as straight as possible. 
This makes it easier to put in jumper wires when you're soldering the 
board.
