Sorry, Another Crosswalk Post


Why does the pedestrian lighted crosswalk sign abruptly change from "Walk" to "Stop"? I mean, are you supposed to just stop dead in your tracks in the middle of the crosswalk and wait to get hit? Shouldn't the sign first say "Hurry your ass up!" before just saying "Stop"?

If only it would fit... I hate it when they count down, it makes me nervous for some reason. There are some that talk where I live, I'm guessing for the visually impaired, but they say stuff like "You can now cross Michigan Ave." But if they're blind how do they know which one is Michigan?

Doodle, you're so right. The countdown is the worst because it's never enough time to get across the street no matter how fast you're walking!
