This happens virtually every single day. Drivers in Chicago would rather commit vehicular manslaughter than wait 5 seconds for someone to cross.

    Interesting. In California you are required to stop if someone else stops at a crosswalk for this exact reason. I’m surprised Illinois doesn’t have such a law.

      I response to your comment, I looked in the compiled statutes, and such a law exists. I guess it just isn’t mentioned in the handbook.

      625 ILCS 5/11-1002(d), which I quoted in an edit.
