deceiving and are ineffective. Drivers should expect the presence of children in residential areas. Studies

| Crosswalks
- A crosswalk is that area of a roadway where pedestrians have the right of
way. Crosswalks may be “marked” or “unmarked.” A “marked crosswalk” is any
crosswalk which is delineated by white or yellow painted markings placed on the
pavement. All other crosswalk locations are therefore “unmarked.” Under the Wisconsin Law, crosswalks exist at all intersections, extending
across the street from the corner curbs, or on other parts of the street
designated as pedestrian crossing locations by the painted lines, unless signed
otherwise. Read More |
