Every Corner is a Crosswalk

The Portland Department of Transportation has just put out a video illustrating the fact that, by Oregon law, every street corner is considered a crosswalk (whether marked or not), and that once a pedestrian has put a food down in the road, automobile drivers have a responsibility to stop and remain stopped until the pedestrian has cleared both their lane and the one next to it. If the person is blind and using a cane or a seeing eye dog, drivers must wait for them to get to the opposite curb.

    Is there anyway you could provide or point me to the embed code? I too am working on a ped post and this fits in perfectly.
