New law, letting people cross street outside of crosswalk, ends racial disparities in enforcement, council member says

The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

      I love it, an elegant solution … now if only we could find an elegant end user to actually implement it.
