Crosswalks


We Americans take a lot for granted.  Like, walking across busy streets, the traffic will yield to you.

Well, this isn't actually true - there are courtesy signs that say stop for pedestrian in walkways, but the nuance is IN THE WALKWAYS.  Not wherever a sign might be in sight or you feel lazy and you are free to scoot across a busy street just because you found a parking space.

This is New Jersey.  Walk in the walkway or take your chances.  If I whack you as you dart through traffic, so be it - you weren't in a walkway.  We mean business.
