Ginormous Jeers

for those of you who drive past me as I wait to cross four lanes at an
unmarked crosswalk, who yell that I should "get my a** to a crosswalk and
quit jaywalking. I am at an unmarked intersection. Go back to driver's ed
and learn what one of those is, the law, and for crying out loud, STOP so
that I can cross! It is your job to stop for me. I have the right of way.
If I could ticket every one of you, you better believe I would. Be grateful
I am not walking out in front of you to make my point! RCW 46.61.235
Crosswalks. (1) The operator of an approaching vehicle shall stop and
remain stopped to allow a pedestrian or bicycle to cross the roadway within
an unmarked or marked crosswalk when the pedestrian or bicycle is upon or
within one lane of the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is
traveling or onto which it is turning. For purposes of this section "half
of the roadway" means all traffic lanes carrying traffic in one direction
of travel, and includes the entire width of a one-way roadway.
