Its a crosswalk - which is the type which is ILLEGAL to not stop for pedestrians. If you want I'll report you to the police which I've done with other cars who wiz by me at 50 MPH. Just to give them a heads up that you don't stop...
I agree. When police are there, they catch many speeders and other violaters.
A pedestrian operated stop light or overhead walk way/pedestiran bridge or speed hump may be the only solution.
There are now those obnoxious flashing yellow lights on poles now. All we need is for the pedistrians to not just walk into the crosswalk without looking for cars.
In particular, and importantly: "... No pedestrian shall enter or cross an intersection in disregard of approaching traffic."
However:
" § 46.2-924. Drivers to stop for pedestrians; installation of certain signs; penalty.
A. The driver of any vehicle on a highway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing such highway:
1. At any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of any block;
2. At any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block;
3. At any intersection when the driver is approaching on a highway or street where the legal maximum speed does not exceed 35 miles per hour.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A, at intersections or crosswalks where the movement of traffic is being regulated by law-enforcement officers or traffic control devices, the driver shall yield according to the direction of the law-enforcement officer or device.
No pedestrian shall enter or cross an intersection in disregard of approaching traffic.
The drivers of vehicles entering, crossing, or turning at intersections shall change their course, slow down, or stop if necessary to permit pedestrians to cross such intersections safely and expeditiously.
Pedestrians crossing highways at intersections shall at all times have the right-of-way over vehicles making turns into the highways being crossed by the pedestrians...."
