I think that many of us, when walking, do not understand the law. A driver MUST stop for a pedestrian ALREADY in a crosswalk. But the pedestrian IS NOT permitted to ENTER the crosswalk when traffic is approaching. I think many pedestrians are unclear on this and therefore feel they are entitled to just walk out into the crosswalk and expect traffic to stop for them. Either that or many are just oblivious to their surroundings
