Not jaywalking. It used to be that you had to cross at a crosswalk AND wait for traffic to be clear. The crosswalk was the place to cross to make sure people weren't crossing at any place they choose. But now that there are laws that require you to stop at any crosswalk with a pedestrian in it, people are crossing and they expect the cars to stop, but not every driver is in tune with this, especially those from outside the city, and it creates a dangerous situation.
- brokenmachine 7y agoBasically you are saying that because the drivers are not obeying the laws, we should throw our hands up and admit it's impossible and change the laws so they have right of way. That's a fair position to take, but I would be questioning why it is that the drivers are unaware or unwilling to obey those laws?
