The Oregon Department of Transportation knows that even the most experienced drivers need to keep an extra eye out for pedestrians in crosswalks.

Expect pedestrians at intersections, marked or not. Always look left, front, right.
Stop for pedestrians at crosswalks.
If a pedestrian is crossing at an intersection, stop and wait until the person has cleared your lane and the next lane before you go.
Exception: When turning at a corner with a signal where pedestrians are crossing, stop and wait until they clear the lane into which you are turning PLUS six feet of the next lane before you turn.
