Does your town have those "traffic must yield to pedestians in crosswalk" thing? I don't mean the urban "walk signals". Instead I mean the painted crosswalks that if a pedestrian merely fakes like he is going to step into them all the cars have to jam on the brakes.
We have them everywhere up here in New England. In general I don't mind them. I don't mind ...[text shortened]... kind, or the thanks-for-letting-me-cross-I'll-be-out-of-your-way-in-a-second kind?
I move as fast as I can. In addition I make an attempt to keep with the pack. I hate people that walk at such a pace that they alone block what would otherwise be a gap that a car could use to pass through to make a right turn or something. If I alone am holding up someone's passage, I often jog.
