If not that particular market, there's similar ones along either direction of the stroad. The whole area is designed for cars, it's not walkable. Yes it's inefficient, but totally understandable why OP drives to cross a street.
Correct. Also, when I lived there, they didn’t have those lights. There was a crosswalk, but crossing vs 3 lanes of traffic each direction with no pedestrian island felt like playing chicken with every driver at once. Did it a couple times to try and make walking work, but it was clearly dangerous.
