Reply to comment by ExtremeHobo in PSA: Crosswalk Law, stopping pre-emptively by EmergencyYoung

Right, if they are IN the crosswalk, all lanes have to stop, and passing the stopped vehicle is illegal

At almost every pedestrian crossing in Richmond you have to be IN the crosswalk(toe over the curb at minimum, but typically a parking space width) just to see traffic around parked cars. Cars should be stopping more often.

You do not know how many times I could not see a car approaching because of the cars that are parked on the side of the street. I live off of Cary, so I walk or sometimes scoot to classes considering how conveniently close everything is. The worst thing about living in the city without a car is definitely having to worry about the cars as a pedestrian/scooter.
