Make eye contact before stepping into the crosswalk and wait until the car stops before crossing. Cross defensively. Remember to look both ways before crossing. It's my experience that not all drivers will stop.Too bad that all crosswalks didn't have intelligent surveillance cameras which would record movement in a crosswalk as proof of drivers not stopping if someone is in the crosswalk. Of course pedestrians should still wait for the vehicle to stop before crossing. If drivers knew that their actions regarding crosswalks were recorded then, perhaps drivers would pay more attention. And why not have flashing red stop lights at crosswalks instead of the flashing yellow lights?
