Crosswalks

In my experience, crosswalks are more dangerous than J-walking, becuase they give you a false sense of security. The crosswalk buttons beep, tempting you, like they're saying "c'mon, push me, I'll keep you safe, you know you wanna". But like all other traffic signs and signals, they're just suggestion. I foolishly tried out a crosswalk, thinking it would give me some magical power to stop the traffic... and almost got run over by a motorcycle. To see a crosswalk in action, check out the little movie I have in my pictures.
