Pedestrianism 101
Categories : Personal |
I know, it sounds like something they might be teaching at a Calvinist college, but actually it’s my suggestion for a compulsory course at our local government high school - how to cross a road. I am tired of having to slow down or stop for these kids who blithely wander into the middle of a stream of traffic rather than crossing at the lights or crossing areas. It’s frustrating enough that traffic slows to a crawl through these 40km “school zones” but to be continually stopping to avoid running over teenagers is too much. I’m surprised no one has been seriously hurt already.
