    In NYC you’ll get a ticket if you stop for pedestrian crossings. I got a ticket for stoping and letting a pedestrian cross the road.

      There is no pedestrian crossing in NYC that is not either signed or signalled, so there is zero ambiguity about when you are supposed to stop. I’m guessing you are leaving out part of the story and very curious what the actual citation was. Regardless, your first sentence is blatant misinformation, please be careful about how you phrase things.

      In Illinois pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way. So not stopping for a crosswalk is a good way to see if there’s a cop lurking nearby.

      The taxi drivers are dicks, they lay on the horn the second the light turns green, good luck driving a stick in that hellscape.
