Vehicles must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks in many states. Illinois is one of them, yet I find in practice anything without a stop sign you're as likely to get buzzed while someone lays on the horn as you are allowed to cross. I regularly have cars honking at me and trying to pass on the right when I stop at crosswalks on some streets in Chicago for pedestrians. It's as if I'm being a jerk for following the law instead of "the Chicago way"
