[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you please share the statute/regulation you're referring to so I can make sure I fully understand what you're describing?  I can't seem to find it.[/quote]

https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter8/section46.2-924/

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.[b] At any regular pedestrian crossing included in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block;
[/b]
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.[/quote]

That does not mean what you think it means.[/quote]
I think it does. This is law in NJ as well. This is an unmarked crosswalk. [/quote]
I think DC as well. [/quote]
DC Code
50–2201.28. Right-of-way at crosswalks.

(a) The driver of a vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the roadway within any marked crosswalk, [b]or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection,[/b] when the pedestrian is upon the lane, or within one lane approaching the lane, on which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning.

(a-1) Whenever a vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk at an unsignalized intersection, a vehicle approaching the crosswalk in an adjacent lane or from behind the stopped vehicle shall stop and give the right-of-way to ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists before passing the stopped vehicle.[/quote]
Thanks for finding. I thought it was the law. Probably because this debate comes up on this board so much.[/quote]
