As I commented here earlier, I see this happen to folks like yourself all the time. As a driver (Who is courteous, or I'd like to think I am at least. Heh.) living in the area, I am especially cautious on that stretch of B'Way. Most drivers are completely oblivious, you're right.
I actually emailed the city after seeing that boston.com story. I think having some sort of sign in the crosswalk itself may help to make these clueless folks a little more aware of their surroundings.
