[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have terrible crosswalks. There are a ton near me that

A) do not have reflective paint
B) do not have a signal attached to them
C) are in the middle of very busy streets that have a lot of lights on the buildings or high up, so the crosswalk is t obvious due to the other visually distracting objects

And then add in people in non-reflective clothing and you have a recipe for disaster, especially if it’s night or raining.

Arlington thinks it’s done a good deed by slapping some paint on the road in the middle of busy streets, but almost none of them have the associated pedestrian-activated signal to start the flashing lights. You may be able to cross Washington Boulevard or Fairfax Drive  at a crosswalk, but you’re crazy to do so, especially on Washington where there is no parking or curb lane. You can’t be seen.[/quote]

Absolutely right. Crosswalks are shit, this the reason for the PSA. Because people think it is funny to say that they can kill you because they bought a crappy Range Rover. Slow down, be aware; and know that in five years advocacy efforts of people who deal with mr Range Rover every day will mean you will be stuck in a single lane of traffic while buses and pedestrians pass you [/quote]
