Yup, sounds about right. for CLARITY FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT. PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALKS mean STOP and let pedestrian’s cross from one side of the street to the other side of the street. Not just pause your vehicle and roll through, not swerve around them on your bike, or take off in your car when they are half way across and almost clip. On the other hand, for those pedestrian’s crossing get your faces out of your DANG PHONES and pay attention to what you are doing and where you are walking BEFORE you step off the curb.
This is a natural consequence of the decision made more than 20 years ago to stop enforcing traffic laws.
