it's fine that this new cross walk vs electronic devise law is now in place.  the cops do not have to be there if anything happens.  the law is a valid notice to not use such devices when crossing the street.  it is a more than fair warning to the pedestrians.  cross looking at an elect device > get hit > pedestrian fault!  don't cry!  don't look to find the driver at fault!  scofflaw pedestrians have been warned!  it pays to make certain that eye CONTACT IS MADE BEFORE CROSSING!  eye contact can serve everyone equally - drivers and pedestrians.  that's the whole point of the new law - eye contact - not looking down at an electronic hand-held device.
