Sonja Dahl told a nice story about a police car stopping at a pedestrian crosswalk on Nokomis Parkway.
But what is a pedestrian (or motorist) to do on a busy three-lane, one-way street like University Avenue SE? There you see lots of implied crosswalks with pedestrians waiting at them throughout the day. The 30 mph-plus stream of traffic won't stop, not across three lanes certainly. Drivers who would honor the state law do so at the risk of their rear bumpers, and aren't likely to be able to persuade drivers in other lanes to halt in unison. This is one area where St. Paul seems to be ahead of Minneapolis, though at the cost of polluting the visual environment with fluorescent green/yellow signs.
