I have to disagree with you. There are load of drivers in the Denver area who pull so far forward, that they block the cross walk, and get their nose out into the flow of traffic.
This forces pedestrians to have to walk around the nose of the car, some times dangerously close to the cross traffic. Some times the stop is so bad that it actually enters into the cross traffic lane.
I have had to stop short on a couple of occasions and wait for the driver to back up in order to safely proceed.
In a nearby city at a busy intersection cops are writing tickets left and right, only they aren’t using cameras. There is also a fairly busy rail road crossing at that intersection and motorists are clearly warned by signs proclaiming loudly not to pass the tracks when the car traffic light is red and do not block the tracks with your vehicle, while waiting for the light to turn.
You are supposed to stop and wait behind the rail crossing but beyond the crossing there’s room for a couple of cars, so people just cannot wait to fill up all that extra space.
If I am first at the red light and stop properly, cars will pull out around me to take that extra space and gain two whole car lengths advantage on me. Screw them they deserve tickets.
Many times the city has a police car sitting nearby in plain sight and people do it anyway, like I said, screw them, they deserve a ticket.
This happened to me once when I was young, agile and good at climbing. I walked right across the guy's hood where the crosswalk was. I could hear him swearing at me as I high-tailed it over to the other side.
There wasn't a whole lot he could do since there was cross traffic flowing to his front and another car stopped at his rear.
I still get a chuckle when I recall the look on his face.
