Crosswalk.
Crosswalk means any portion of a
roadway at an intersection or elsewhere that is distinctly indicated for
pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface of the roadway
that conform in design to the standards established for crosswalks under ORS

sidewalks, shoulders or a combination thereof exists, a crosswalk is the
portion of a roadway at an intersection, not more than 20 feet in width as
measured from the prolongation of the lateral line of the roadway toward the
prolongation of the adjacent property line, that is included within:
(a) The
connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks, shoulders or a combination
thereof on opposite sides of the street or highway measured from the curbs or,
in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traveled roadway; or
(b) The
prolongation of the lateral lines of a sidewalk, shoulder or both, to the
sidewalk or shoulder on the opposite side of the street, if the prolongation
would meet such sidewalk or shoulder.
(2) If there is
neither sidewalk nor shoulder, a crosswalk is the portion of the roadway at an
intersection, measuring not less than six feet in width, that would be included
within the prolongation of the lateral lines of the sidewalk, shoulder or both on
the opposite side of the street or highway if there were a sidewalk. [1983
