I agree. Unfortunately, the Calgary Police dont. The law is that you cant enter a crosswalk until ALL pedestrians are on the sidewalk.
Regardless, I still excercise my own judgement, and will deal with the ticket if I get one. I have just as much motivation not to run someone over as the pedestrians have to not be run over.
But, while this law exists, most people will obey it. It makes intersections like you mentioned almost impossible to turn at.
