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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “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.”
