Oh no, people might think they are real and look out for pedestrians!
I got a ticket for parking next to a red curb after the resident painted it. Had to go down to the city and get confirmation it was fake to get the ticket dismissed.
Not really angry about that one. Taught me good info about the government back then.
You are both technically correct and also describing a system where the average person can make a request and get the results of a study to find out whether a crosswalk can exist where people are already crossing the street. Many of thses kinds of requests are 'lost' or actively ignored because the city doesn't have the budget to even look into the feasibility. That also results in statements about never receiving requests because people don't know how to get them to the right place to count as a request.
In my experience cities aren't liable for very much at all. Sure aren't liable for potholes destroying tires, why would they be liable for crosswalk injuries?
I'll also add that Seattle had some renegade sidewalks put in by residents as well. The city replied with a statement about paint being the main reason. Anti slip, reflection, ADA requirements to get to the crosswalk, and bicycles/motorcycle considerations being the main reasons to remove them. Seattle did come back through and put in a crosswalk but it took resident action to get the city to do something about it.
Riding both motorcycles and bicycles I don't want my tire washing out taking a turn or stopping only to find out the city never put that in.
Or pedestrians might think they are real and get run over because they aren't up to proper spec for a crossing.
Besides being painted in reflective road paint, which these ones are, what else would cause a pedestrian to be run over?
As long as it looks like a crosswalk, and drivers can see it, I'm not sure what else you would need.
Depending on location there's additional stuff, mostly signage notifying drivers. With great variation in requirements depending on the road.
Signage is definitely important. You can't just throw shit down on the pavement and have it be treated as a sign itself.
