All joking aside, that's exactly how traffic works in Portland.

Also belgium and germany. Getting too close to the street/sidewalk interface will often cause cars to stop even if you have no intension whatsoever of crossing.

I'm Belgian and now living in Norway, it's even "worse" here. It's really one of the first things you notice when being here.

Being a few meters off from a crosswalk cars will stop while they would easily be able to drive on before you (Which they would do in Belgium).

How many people on foot and bike are killed and maimed in Portland every year? It's not zero.
