Why don't they reverse a little and park before the stop sign where the crossing won't be blocked?

Thatā€™s the legal way to do it. Itā€™s supposed to be 30 feet from the stop signā€¦ā€¦..

There was prob a car there when they first parked. Why does thr ā€œa few blocks from a schoolā€ part matter? I do t think it sucks any more or less when itā€™s near a school.

Because little kids having to dodge a car while there is regular morning and truck route traffic going, while people are pushing their strollers and wheelchairs, isnā€™t too cool man.

Being parked there also reduces visibility for folks in the vehicles looking to turn.

Thatā€™s why it matters. The people that need to use the crosswalk very much need it. This person decided that their shitty Honda was more important than peopleā€™s means of egress.

Because now you have school kids going into the street to get around this douche

Not sure why youā€™re getting downvoted. Yes, it puts school kids in danger but parking in a crosswalk also means this person is blocking an ADA curb ramp so anybody using a mobility assistance device is also being put in harms way. This is a complete dick move no matter where it happens. Also shocking to me that thereā€™s a feeling that itā€™s fine to do this overnight so long as you move the car before 6 AM or something as if people never leave the house when itā€™s dark out.

Thatā€™s what I was getting at. I push a stroller pretty often and when the crosswalk is blocked with a car on a busier street it does actually feel significantly more dangerous.
