Not far away is a similar sidewalk in Wildwood. Driving west on 466A a block before US 301 there is a sidwalk in the middle of the street. It's there because school parking is on the other side of the road. In this situation there is a sign that indicates drivers are to stop when pedestrians are present. No such sign is present at the crosswalk on St. Charles.

Exactly. There is no reason for vehicles approaching that type of crossing to automatically stop every time....when no pedestrian is visible IN the crosswalk.
