This happens virtually every single day. Drivers in Chicago would rather commit vehicular manslaughter than wait 5 seconds for someone to cross.

From that video and given that not one but two cars passed when pedestrians were legally had priority to cross (for one car on the right, then the one on the left) plus the speed of the car on the left, clearly de facto stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks is optional.

Laws are only requirements if they're enforced, otherwise they're in practice only advices.
