A crosswalk is an obstruction of the flow of traffic. There is a reason why crosswalks are announced with traffic signs (Zeichen 350). The fact that you, personally, like the obstruction does not mean they are a lesser problem than a concrete block.
Adding a crosswalk may be dangerous depending on the location.
