Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 73 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"While a `T' intersection is within the statutory definition of an intersection, see A.R.S. § 28-602(6), this does not necessarily mean that an unmarked crosswalk exists at such an intersection.... An unmarked crosswalk is `That part of a roadway at an intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway' (emphasis added), A.R.S. § 28-602(2), supra. Since the `T' intersection here did not have a sidewalk on the `opposite side' of the highway, there are no lateral lines to `connect' to each other in order to form an unmarked crosswalk." 568 P.2d at 413 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Instructions must be viewed as a whole and not piecemeal, ... the test being, upon the whole charge, whether the jury will gather the proper rules to be applied in arriving at the correct decision____ It is also the rule that unless an issue is supported by the evidence, it is improper to instruct upon it.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““That part of a roadway at an intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traversable roadway.””
