I think they are trying to make the law more reasonable because there were police officers writing tickets for absurd stings. A person would step into the road and everyone would get tickets in the intersection. WA law seems rather convoluted but basically gives some room to use the road when the pedestrian is still out there. Probably more for those, I’m turning right at a red light and ped crossed the road, it’s clear to go now but someone is still technically in the crosswalk. IMHO it's a slippery slope and vision of other cars can be obstructed by cars driving around pedestrians. In general, people shouldn’t be doing 40mph within 10 feet of a pedestrian in the road (like they were in this case). Anyway, I record this intersection because I see all kinds of carnage… 10 collisions in the past year next to a park. Human drivers are the worst
