In Washington D.C. there are signs everywhere reminding drivers to yield to pedestrians; they just don't do it there. I was literally nearly hit by a car twice, in a crosswalk, with my hand out towards the car in a 'stop don't hit me' fashion. They swerved around me and cursed me... in a crosswalk with the right of way. Pedestrians do seem to have more rights up here then down there.
