Understanding, and of course supporting, the pedestrian right-of-way....I'm seeing dangerous and foolish behaviors encouraged here. It's now getting to the point where college kids are just walking straight out into the street, head down, no look style.
There's all this thought around town that we have to be extra careful with the roads near campus because of course these young adults will just wander into the roads like deer.
WTF! Most of these college students have had a fucking drivers license for at least 2 years, if not 5 or 6. or more! They're legal adults. Probably creating a special area where they're encouraged to roam through traffic like zombies with no situational awareness whatsoever is not assisting in their development as human beings.
jesus fucking christ.
