But especially if there's a crosswalk, let the pedestrians cross man!

infringe? like to infource?
as a learning how to drive person.. i know that i'm supossed to stop at the cross walk but it's so freakin hard so i always hope that the people will let me drive by first!

No, sort of the opposite of enforce...to infringe upon someone's rights is to try to take them away.

Even if the people at the crosswalk do stop, aren't you supposed to wave them to go by anyway?
