Whether marked (via paint on the ground) or not, at every street intersection exists a crosswalk. I can't recall in which Los Angeles neighborhood it was, but the city actually started erasing the paint on the ground as there were too many auto v. pedestrian accidents; the logic was that the painted crosswalks were giving pedestrians a false sense of safety, so they just walked out into the street without paying enough attention to traffic. That was the gist of the LA Times article, at least. Isn't there some guy who writes a column there where you can write in and ask these types of questions? He'll look up the exact vehicle code/traffic code for you.
