For 25 years I walked to work. The number of times, in a crosswalk, I had to jump out of the way to avoid serious injury or death could not be counted on my fingers and toes. And I was hyper-aware of vehicles (I include bicycles in that, because many times I had to avoid them, too). Now, I'm in a city (in the Bay Area) and I was walking from a residential area into the city (2-3 miles one way). Still, you would not expect lawful crossing of a street to be so dangerous.
