There was someone trying to cross the crosswalk the other day, so I stopped (as the law dictates). 30 seconds of every other motorist in the other lane not yielding later I eventually just gave up and drove away. Legend says that they’re still trying to cross the road to this day.
When I’m late or in a hurry, sometimes that’s my response to crosswalks. I get honked at and yelled at a lot, but almost everyone stops because no one wants the liability of running over a pedestrian.
I love when this happens while I’m driving bus because I will happily just put my nose over and block both lanes. Drives the dumb ass drivers insane and puts a smile on my face for a while
City buses should be like school buses, they should have a stop sign and lights to allow passengers to cross. They should also have a fold out yield sign since no one seems to respect the turn signals.

This mostly doesn’t happen in Australia. Zebra crossing means stop. A lot of pedestrians won’t even check, they just walk onto the road on a crossing.

I stopped at a crosswalk once and the pedestrian waved me on lol. Like c’mon… you can cross, I have all day.
