I see it every day as Calgary drivers are really bad when it comes to crosswalks. People making left or right turns into crosswalks with pedestrians still crossing. It's really bad at an intersection I frequent. I get that some pedestrians drag their asses when crossing but if you are waiting to turn into a crosswalk you just can't decide that the pedestrian is too slow so you will just maneuver around them or just go right in front of them cutting them off. Changing speed limits won't affect this but I wonder if they will be able to make the photo radar lights one day be able to catch this kind of stuff.
