Enforcement of the law might help. I've only seen those signs in the east for about a decade or so and haven't heard of much enforcement. Stopping for crosswalks just isn't part of the driving culture.
I lived in Arizona 35 years ago and stopping for pedestrians was ingrained behavior. The law was enforced and no signs were needed. Step into a the crosswalk and all traffic would stop.
