Oregon law requires motorists to stop for a pedestrian at an intersection to allow them to cross whether or not a cross walk is designated. From time to time I ride the public transit (MAX), my least favorite activity, to work. To cross from the parking garage to the station a clearly marked cross walk is available; which also happens to be across the street from the county sheriff's office and down the street from the city police department. I have yet to see a police or sheriff car stop to alow a pedestrian to cross the street.
Shouldn't heroes set an example? A lost opportunity to demonstrate street level leadership.
