Pedestrians...... and Crosswalks

[WestwardHO]

Where do Pedestrians have the right of way? At all intersections, or just those where a Pedestrian corridor is signed?

Lots of idiots (walkers) that just walk out onto the street and expect our brakes to work immediately. Damn near ran one down the other morning, and he gave ME the finger! It wasn't at a signed Crosswalk.

From taking my 1A a year ago in SK peds can
cross at any full intersection but not at a "T"
intersection. Which I think is crazy but that's what
instructor said. Personally I prefer to j walk so I'm
in total control and not relying on someone with
tones of steel to stop... Which they don't always.
Relying on other people can cost you your life.

I guess we just have to remember that the "Coffee is Hot" and that some pedestrians, as just plain idiots. Having to stop at every occasion to let a person cross is hard on brakes, and slows down traffic flow. I understand the MARKED crosswalks say every 3 block, but really........

Moral of the story is to leave good skid marks.
