I recall reading a study about stray dogs in urban environments. I don’t remember much from it, but I diatinctly remember the authors discovered that urban dogs tended to avoid intersections. They would walk down the block a significant distance before attempting to cross a street.
Intersections are complicated. Traffic can be coming from any direction, turning toward or away from your path. Halfway down the block, though, traffic is only approaching from two directions. Much less going on, and much safer for the animal.
Lololol you can cross the street outside of crosswalks.
You can use a rusted nail as a toothpick, but I wouldn’t recommend doing so.
Good Lord you people live very frightened lives.
In many places it’s illegal and where it’s legal it’s often dangerous

in many places the law says that you must cross at a crosswalk
Not when cops will ticket you for it.

Okay, roll your eyes. I saw it all the time when I lived in L.A.
