Sort of off topic, and not all that important, but this is something I used to wonder about while riding and needing something to occupy my mind during the commute to my previous job.
I regularly rode past signs in a residential area across from a large park with athletic fields that say State Law Requires Motorists To Yield To Pedestrians In The Crosswalk.
Note that it says IN the crosswalk.
What if they're just NEAR the crosswalk? What if they're standing there with body language indicating they're waiting to cross the road, looking both ways, and waiting for a break in traffic? Or what if they're walking toward the crosswalk but aren't quite there yet?
Of course drivers should stop. I'm not suggesting otherwise. But I used to ride by and think about what might happen if one didn't stop for someone and got pulled over for failure to yield to a pedestrian. "But officer, I obeyed the sign. They weren't IN the crosswalk. They were only NEAR the crosswalk!" I wonder if that would work in court, due to the ambiguity of the sign language.
