There’s a lunch spot at the top of the T but I have to cross the stem of the T to reach the top of the T.
Why are they doubling my chances to get hit when they could just add another crosswalk and let me cross one street instead of two? Are they stupid?

I think the law in my state is that pedestrians have right of way at “marked AND unmarked” crosswalks, and every interesection is considered at least an unmarked crosswalk unless explicitly marked as no pedestrian crossing.
So, if that’s true, I still have right of way on the unmarked crossing, but drivers would be perfectly rational to think I don’t! I mean, if the crosswalk means I have a right of way, then there NOT being a crosswalk would mean I DON’T have right of way. It’s just logic.
I also learned that pedestrians don’t have ROW crossing mid-block, which kinda sucks because that’s the safest place to cross and I don’t care what anyone says. Unaware turning traffic is the biggest risk to pedestrians, interesections therefore are the worst place to cross.
