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

My area has a bunch of these crosswalks on six lane 40 MPH / 65 km/h streets and I never dare to use them.

    We've got one that's 45 mph, well known for pedestrian hits. Runs through poor housing areas where people tend to walk to places. But there are lights and crosswalks, so it's got that over this place.
