absolutely. in the hood, crosswalks are always suggestions. you're pretty much as likely to get hit crossing a street (as a pedestrian) when the WALK sign is on cuz some dude in a bashed up car with "dealer plates" didn't want to wait as you are jaywalking when the coast is clear. in suburbs, white people will wait full minutes for the crosswalk to tell them it's okay to go even if there are no cars in any direction.
