Explanation
It would be extremely dangerous to pass a vehicle that is stopped in front of a crosswalk. This is because there may be a pedestrian crossing the street that is hidden from you by the stopped vehicle. Whenever you come up to a crosswalk, bear in mind that pedestrians always have the right-of-way, so stop and allow them to cross the street.
