I was taught it's illegal to drive thru a crosswalk when a pedestrian is in any part of the crosswalk, actually regardless of what the traffic signal is. Now, nobody follows that, but yeah..
- Freedom2 3y agoA lot of Americans believe that it infringes on their freedoms, hence why this behavior has become acceptable.
- amelius 3y agoIsn't traffic law #1 in the book that you are not allowed to cause an unsafe situation, regardless of all the other laws?
- jcranmer 3y agoThe precise rules vary from state to state, but the general rule of thumb is you must stop for a pedestrian that has not yet cleared your direction of the road.

Good to see they’re not a road maniac, but also they should feel free to use their senses to realize there’s absolutely no way I could get hurt.
