A crosswalk exists wherever the sidewalk path would extend across the road, even if there are no markings designating it. What is this feature called?

A crosswalk is the area where pedestrians cross the street, and it can exist where the sidewalk would continue across the road even without painted stripes. Cars are required to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, and you should slow and look for people about to enter the road, even if there are no markings. This differs from an intersection, which is where two roads meet; a sidewalk is the pedestrian path along the street; and a shoulder is the edge of the roadway outside the driving lanes.
