I always take the "outside the crosswalk" reports with a grain of salt. Hereabouts, if the pedestrian lands outside the crosswalk, they're assumed to have been crossing outside of it, even if later eyewitness reports and video footage show they were in the crosswalk and the car knocked them out of it.
- vinay427 9y agoThere is also the problem that in some areas (e.g. California) all intersections are crosswalks even if unlabeled. It's likely that most pedestrians cross in a crosswalk whether they know it or not. Arizona has something similar: > By legal definition, there are three or more crosswalks at every intersection whether marked or unmarked.
