New Crosswalk Design to Cut Down on Jaywalking?

The only reason jaywalking is illegal is to protect the safety of those jaywalking. Well what if we made it easier to cross at crosswalks by making them bigger and safer?

Korean designer Jae Min Lim has the clever idea to turn crosswalks into, well, “J”s. By curving the typical Zebra crossing to take up a wider swath of road, you carve out a nice, safe path for pedestrians -- one that reflects how they actually walk. 

You would have to make it illegal to turn right on red, which should be done in several places already as I see many cars parked on the crosswalk creeping towards a turn as people are trying to cross. But this crosswalk shows a clear design that sends the message that the roads are to be shared with pedestrians and cars must operate accordingly.
