I may stop and ask for an explanation of the Oregon pedestrian law, "every intersection is a crosswalk, whether marked or not".  I have driven behind SPD on Main Street and other arterials in my Thurston neighborhood and observed pedestrians standing at an intersection and no one stopped, including the SPD.  Yet, every time a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, the police spokesperson and the newspaper repeats this law as gospel. The marked and lighted crosswalks are no brainers.  Explain the unmarked crosswalk law to me.
