[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like a school bus stopping on Connecticut avenue where it’s 6 lanes and if every other shop had a front driveway with traffic going in and out plus a red light and turn lanes every 400 meters.

Not gonna happen. [/quote]

As someone who had to cross Connecticut Avenue to get to school every day in the 90s I would have been THRILLED if there was a way to get commuters to actually stop for kids crossing.  Would have loved it if the guy who called me a whore for trying to cross the street when I was 14 and it as raining out would have gotten a ticket for not yielding.  [/quote]

Go to the traffic light cross walk. Not the middle of the stretch. [/quote]

PP you are replying to.  Are you implying that if if a middle school student is crossing in a marked crosswalk at an intersection where there was no light that it was OK for a MD driver to call her a whore?  What in the ever-loving heck is wrong with drivers?  The law is that you yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, whether there is a light there or not.  Are you next going to come back with "would you rather be right or dead?"  Because that is the classic victim-blaming, goal post-moving argument by drivers when pedestrians try to assert their rights.

This happened 30 years ago- I am clearly not dead, and it was clearly not OK for someone to scream at me and call me names for doing something well within the bounds of the law.  I would like kids to both live AND be able to safely cross without being yelled at by deranged drivers.  [/quote]
