They aren't taught the laws regarding fellow human beings when they take driver's ed, but the laws about that strip of paint are really pounded in.
Watch drivers at a marked pedwalk with no crossing light. Even here in Seattle where it's posted "drivers must yield to peds in walkway" I've seen drivers just plow through, narrowly missing the peds who have either just crossed from or have almost crossed to their lane of travel.
