Pedestrian crosses several lanes of traffic on an ill-defined crosswalk.
Pavement in disrepair in crosswalk.
Crosswalk barely visible.
This intersection is the meeting of two huge city streets, any way a pedestrian tries to cross, they are walking past several lanes of folks in cars.
Sidewalk at crosswalk is uneven.
