[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids are not crossing the street, then why are the signs even out?! City buses stop all the time and have no issues. Why does everyone need to stop for school buses? I'd argue that it creates more rear ending and more accidents.

Agree on mulit-lane commercial roads. No kid is crossing the street to the seven mechanics shops. River road is fatal, no school bus sign + idiotic drivers + high volume traffic will save you.

No one crosses at a non red light/green light traffic corner. Just like no one uses the fatal crosswalk under the capital crescent trail there. Lunacy.[/quote]

lol at the twisted logic here.  "Nobody crosses the street because drivers make it too dangerous.  Ergo, the only solution is the status quo where it continues to be a dangerous road and inconveniences anyone not in a car.  People would be maniacs to cross in legal crossing areas because, again, drivers don't listed to the rules and stop for stop signs and pedestrians.  So we should incentive the dangerous behavior of motorists and stop ticketing them for failing to stop at a stop sign."[/quote]

NP. I agree with the point that people don’t cross River Road there by foot. Never seen it in 10 years, there are too many turnouts and in on that half mile stretch. The long McDonald’s drive through line onto both sides of river road and median is nuts as well. That should be illegal. [/quote]
