Around here it was more "if you want cars to stop for you do it at a light or stop sign". There werent really any labeled crossing for pedestrians other than at lights or stop signs. And if there were you didnt have to stop at them if someone was waiting to cross. It was more of a warning to keep and eye out for people already crossing. But now its becoming you stop if there are people waiting at any form of designated crossing other than a stop light.
But its really very new. Last few years. Maybe 10 absolute max. More like 5.
