[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, it's so funny that you think I'm making this shit up.  I am a 10 minute round trip walk to our school.  There is no way that 10 minutes tops is what people are sitting in our kiss and ride for, as I saw a car directly in front of my house when I left this morning and the same car had moved exactly 2 houses up by the time I was walking home.  So, in 10 minutes, they had moved up a couple hundred feet.  And this is truly not unusual on a rainy day.

As for complaining about the walkers, that's fine, but I'm not one of them.  I walk straight down a sidewalk and use 2 crosswalks - one on the street next to the school and one in the actual school parking lot.  I have nearly been run over multiple times by people not even bothering to look or stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.  Even on the 95% of days when the teacher at the crosswalk is clearly holding his/her stop sign trying to help me and my child walk across the road, people still don't pay a damn bit of attention.  Luckily, I am familiar with what assholes people can be from my years working downtown and I don't just TRUST that people are going to stop when they are supposed to.

It is like a game of frogger even in clearly marked crosswalks at our school/in our neighborhood.

It is especially aggravating knowing that our school administration is well aware of the problem, has done everything in their power to explain the situation to people and attempt to improve it, yet people STILL continue to do whatever the hell they feel like.  Your convenience is not more important than the safety of the children.

We have been begging the police to come out and get involved in our neighborhood, as there have been children hit.[/quote]

Where the hell do you live OP and why don't you have a crossing guard?
