The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

What, wait, no. I've lived in very rural areas, wtf was I supposed to do without a car? Bike back and forth a few hours for groceries?

Don't live in rural areas. Those should be wildlife habitats, tbh.

So people should only live in dense, crowded cities? Because even in the suburbs it's not possible to grocery shop without a car.

Suburbs can ultimately be redesigned (and I'd argue they should, for a number of reasons)
