This happens virtually every single day. Drivers in Chicago would rather commit vehicular manslaughter than wait 5 seconds for someone to cross.

I don't trust crosswalks at all. I'll just wave the cars past and wait for no cars.

All the car waiting for them did is create a blind spot.

    Why the fuck is there even a crossing without lights on a 3 lane road? America's roads are all kind of fucked up.

    That's what I thought. Rarely I'll see one on a two-lane, usually they are set up with lights. This six-lane avenue? That's likely getting an overpass, lights as minimum.

    This is road engineering so stupid, I wouldn't have believed it were a real thing, but here's a video.
