OK so I have been walking everywhere since we moved to our new rental as everything is within walking distance. I have had a lot of trouble with crosswalks lately.
I am a Mom who walks with 2 kids in a double stroller and NO ONE stops for me at the crosswalk EVER! Seriously! I have to cross the road, at this same crosswalk, daily, and every day I literally have to walk out and stop the traffic myself.
The first day I waited 15 minutes and people were running through the crosswalk and some were speeding. There were families in vans not stopping, hello people, would you want someone to stop for you?
This just amazes me. I can’t believe how much in a hurry everyone is now that they cannot even stop for someone to walk a crosswalk, especially one pushing to young kids in a stroller.
I literally have to wait for enough clear traffic just to push out a bit so the cars have time to stop for me. It is ridiculous!
Please stop for people at crosswalks! I will stop for you too!

I wish there were but the closest crosswalks with lights is about a block away and it just pisses me off that I can't use the non-lit one because stupid people won't stop, argh!
Oh! And thanks for following me!
I guess I am completely unfamiliar with this problem. Are there not stoplights at these crosswalks?
I had the same experience when my twins were babies… just thoughtless people who think you can afford to wait while they speed ahead. Folloing you from Tuesday Blog Hop.
