Reply to comment by EmergencyYoung in PSA: Crosswalk Law, stopping pre-emptively by EmergencyYoung
"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."
From https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title46.2/chapter8/article16/
And yes, I agree it says that pedestrians should not disregard oncoming traffic, and I agree there is mutual responsibility here, but again, the onus is on the multi-ton vehicle operator because if something bad happens, the potential for damage/death is SIGNIFICANTLY higher at their mass and velocity.
