How the hell is this so downvoted? It's literally a link showing that doing this is in a lot of driving courses and driving best practice guides. Are people burying it because it doesn't fit their perspective? It's literally evidence that what I'm suggesting is at least widely considered a good idea.

Because if I’m waiting at a crosswalk, what other signal of my intention do you need? Conversely, if my dogs are sniffing and taking their sweet time, I turn my back to the street so drivers don’t think I’m crossing. But if I’m standing there facing the street, what else am I going to do when you have to stop for a light or stop sign?

And a link to best-practices from driver’s ed is hardly indicative of how people actually act.
