If a driver follows the law as stated then a person can step off the curb into a crosswalk without worrying abou being run over That being said , I realize people can't step off the curb into a crosswalk because there's a **chance** the driver will ignore the stop sign or as another poster suggested use a stop sign as a yield sign. Yes Brian if you go through a stop sign and run over a child , you can sooth your own peace of mind by suggesting the child should have looked both ways before stepping into the road. But the truth is the driver killed the child by failing to follow the driving laws.
