The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

        This is great. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m okay with violence against people who think their convenience takes priority over the safety of others.

        the bricks all end up on one side of the cross walk. good idea, no way for it to actually work.

            Japan used a flag system, the higher the traffic the less likely it is to work

            I love it, an elegant solution … now if only we could find an elegant end user to actually implement it.

          Yet somehow some city think it’s a good idea to use the same exact idea but with a flag when crossing the street.
