In Japan, pedestrians are required to stop at places where there are stop signs and at crosswalks where there are pedestrians about to cross. In addition, pedestrians are required to slow down when crossing a crosswalk where it is unclear whether there are pedestrians about to cross. Violating these rules will result in police crackdowns and penalties such as fines being imposed on drivers. Currently, there are also "stop" cameras installed, but I understand that these are intended to draw attention to crackdown points. Instead, I would like to see signs and indications that there are crosswalks.
