Seattle crosswalks good, not Naperville
I just got back from five days in Seattle. I spent the weekend with my sisters who had never been to Seattle. It took getting used to, but cars do stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, even when you have not stepped off the curb. The laws do work if they are enforced and people know the laws.
I try crossing Modaff at Tamarack in Naperville. It is a marked crosswalk and even if I step off the curb and point to the crosswalk, no one seems to get it, or they don’t care.
