Don’t mean to sound rude but it feels like you don’t actually want to talk about the problems with crosswalks but just talk about how people are bad drivers.

I don’t see how you can separate the these items? Crosswalks are there to give safe passage for pedestrians… If a driver plows through a family… and can walk into court and say “I couldn’t tell it was a crosswalk because it wasn’t properly marked” and get away with it… That’s a problem. The point of the crosswalk is to put onus on the driver to drive “Correctly” specifically at those points to make pedestrians safer.

Yeah that isn’t chalk. It’s paint.

Okay… so a little more durable than chalk. but certainly nowhere near as durable as the actual road markings. It will eventually wear weird and probably stain the white crosswalk markings themselves as well…

I dunno… I could be wrong. But I’ve seen too many times where the person who is clearly in the wrong get away with something that they have no right getting away with just because of some technicality that the letter of the law supports. As long as a person doesn’t die because of this I don’t care all that much. But the itching feeling is there that someone might.
