I think some ped...oh yeah i know about that...hehe. I think some pedestrians do that because hey are too lazy to walk over to the pedestrian lane or overpass. or they just don't know where to cross. <BR/><BR/>on my part, I don't cross when there is no lane (and sometimes the lane should have a stop light or a traffic person on it, or else it should be an overpass or underpass) mostly because i am deathly scared of getting run over. :S <BR/><BR/>In this way I think road rules (both for pedestrians and for motorists) should be followed. no one wants to be road kill as much as no one wants to be a--for lack of better term--"road killer"... :Dpetrufiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669854080010018951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043188379744567844.post-11779547996899824152008-04-07T19:15:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:15:00.000-07:00Ah, the "right of way" concept =)Most of the time,...Ah, the "right of way" concept =)<BR/><BR/>Most of the time, I do stop automatically upon coming to a pedestrian lane when people are crossing or about to cross -- even when the motorists behind me are honking like crazy. It's really a form of respect for the pedestrian, respect for the human being, respect for road signs (the ones that make sense, at least). <BR/><BR/>There's the other side, though. I hope one day we can say that pedestrians also come to recognize designated spots for crossing the street so that they won't cross just anywhere they feel like crossing. When you finally get your driver's license and get to drive around the city, you'll know how it feels when you have to contend with people who walk on the streets as if there were no pedestrian lanes and no sidewalks =)sunnydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866905031172910302noreply@blogger.com
