Ive always thought those crosswalks on broadway were dangerous. More often than not you press the button and a car in one lane slows down, while a car in the other lane blazes through. This is why I dont even enter those crosswalks until I make eye contact with both drivers, or can clearly see that they are slowing down. Be smart, and never assume anything.
