STOP, LOOK AND WAVE: better idea. the current situation in town is a game of “freeze tag” with cars
This is a much better idea. The current situation in town is a game of “freeze tag” with cars. I step off the curb and the cars must freeze. This is a dangerous lesson to be teaching the pedestrians.
Common sense must prevail. If you want to cross, stop, look around, and when it is safe, start to cross. I have done this all my life, even in NYC, and it works. I believe it is called “Stop. look and listen”.
I was also taught ” Don’t cross the street in the middle of the block”. I am a survivor.
