Highway departments have had a long history of contempt for pedestrians. Observe a crosswalk only on one side of the intersection - and sidewalks only on the other. Or see sidewalks enter intersections where the highway dept has posted no pedestrian signs.

In a few crosswalks, a pedestrian push button exists to trigger the light that is otherwise off. That light flashes yellow (caution) for cars and red for pedestrians (do not cross). If not obvious, that light should flash red for cars and yellow for pedestrians. Contempt.
