Its a place in the road that pedestrians can walk in and if they were to get hit by a car, they are not At Fault, and the driver is responsible. When you are not walking in a crosswalk, you are known to be jaywalking.
In California, pedestrians crossing outside of a marked crosswalk must __________ the right-of-way to other vehicles.
IN the crosswalk. They're not outside of the protected space until they cross the outer edge of the marked line and step onto the unmarked pavement.
If you are the first vehicle approaching an intersection with a red light or stop sign, stop behind the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.
You should warn them and report them to the police right away
Concerning California law:No. To park at a corner would be blocking a crosswalk which is illegal. Note that a crosswalk does not have to be marked as such for it to be a crosswalk. A crosswalk is basically defined as the gap between two sidewalk corners.Blocking a crosswalk prohibited: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21970.htmDefinition of crosswalk: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc275.htmAlso, it is illegal to park within three feet of a sidewalk access ramp which is often placed at sidewalk corners.http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc22522.htm
be extremely careful around pedestrians.be caution and remember that a person walking across the street within a crosswalk,whether or not the crosswalk is marked,always has the right of wayDrivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks.
Let them cross n you should come to a complete stop
"A driver of a vehicle which is making a turn at an intersection who is facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal shall not enter the intersection or marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or marked crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle driven without obstructing the through passage of vehicles from either side."

True. Vehicles should always stop for pedestrians.
In the UK always except on motorways or where designated In the state of Oregon and most other U.S. states, at all crosswalks whether marked or not. EVERY intersection has a crosswalk. The exceptions would be when a light gives the driver the right of way or where a "crosswalk closed" sign is posted.
By law, motorists are REQUIRED to stop for ANY pedestrian at any MARKED crosswalk with crosswalk lines on both sides. At some crosswalks with no traffic light, pedestrians are not required to wait although since all drivers are not that smart to automatically stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, it may be wise for the pedestrian to consider their own safety and wait anyway.
