Those jaywalkers would scream to high heavon if they got hit.If they are that dumb or lazy they deserve what they get.Jim Thomas Phx.Az.
This type of measure is long overdue, Wolf. We seem to obsess with the dangers of distracted driving and lose sight of the fact that many of the the distractions are prevasive. I have seen countless people wandering down the street, across intersections with or without the light, texting, listening or phoning. It's a dangerous world. Even when everyone takes care, stuff happens. I'd hate someone to be morally in the right but totally dead because of their distracted walking.
Don't get me started on cyclists.
I believe its about time, too many people walking around in a cloud. not watching where they are going.
I think the town is right in giving ticket for jaywalking long run you save life. Children follow the example of adults
lets teach them right way of crossing a street.
