Sure everyone does it. But the rules are the rules. Just like a lot of people speed. But when you get a speeding ticket, you only have yourself to blame. The part about not entering the crosswalk after the hand starts flashing has been there for awhile. And they are just starting to enforce it more. I can understand getting upset about it but ultimately, they only have themselves to blame. I witness every morning what this does to traffic. We have an over-zealous crossing guard at my kids' school. And she is constantly caught out in the street against traffic because she was motioning more kids to cross far beyond what would normally be ok. And this causes turning cars to have to wait even though they have a green turn arrow. It can get bad. There is no excuse for crossing that way just like there is no excuse for speeding or rolling through a stop sign or any of the little infractions that many people do everyday. It is pretty simple: Just wait for the next light cycle.
