Crosswalks

Step into a crosswalk here, all traffic stops for you. Do that in New York City, you'll get mowed over by a taxi.

I don't know the rules for crosswalks well enough here. I stop every time and wait for any car to stop, or to pass, so that I can cross safely. But I see many many people just stepping into a yellow striped zone as though there is this bubble of safety around them.

My dog, Bear, feels confident crossing streets only in these yellow zones now. Maybe he's Swiss.
