I don't live in Davis, but I have this problem as a pedestrian in my neighborhood, and have often thought the same thing. I've seen one or two people get pulled over as a result of ignoring people in the crosswalk, but sometimes 10+ cars will drive past as I wait to cross-- there's SO much potential for the city to make a lot of money here.
I'm sure there's some reason why they don't do it (no way could they be unaware of the amount of money they could make), maybe something about not wanting to have multiple cops sitting at intersections all day? Like I said, I don't live in Davis, but maybe traffic enforcers do the parking tickets and only the police can give out tickets to cars that don't stop in crosswalks?
