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

No light, no stop sign, only the requirement to stop for pedestrians and not even a light for them. And, since it's Chicago, I'm guessing that road always has cars on it.

I would never use that crosswalk.

There should be a light there. But, more than that, since it's a residential street with a park, the speed limit should be 25MPH, and there's no reason for it to be three lanes. Furthermore, that red car turning left needs to look past the trees and wall in the median on the right, and account for six lanes of traffic, again without a light.

I'm guessing that red in the road near the crosswalk is paint, but it might as well be blood.
