Why Massholes don't understand crosswalks

This is pretty amusing. I commented about how people in Massachusetts don't understand crosswalks, and think they always have the right of way including when there's a big red hand telling them they don't, or when they're not in a crosswalk at all.

So then a couple people showed up insisting that pedestrians do have the right of way, and the big red hand really doesn't mean anything, and it's just one of those weird Massachusetts laws.

Riiight. MGL chapter 89 begs to differ with you people. And the weird Massachusetts laws are in chapter 272 anyway.
