Isn't the speed limit on Prospect 25MPH as well? Why would someone drive out of their way to get to a street with the same speed limit?

Somebody HONKED at the UPS driver, Gary, because he stopped in the crosswalk to let us go by, and that poor driver was stuck behind him waiting for six seconds as me, my daughter, and my baby in the stroller crossed the street. Seriously.

1. When driving if someone is in or entering a crosswalk, yield to them and quite often this means stop. It is the law. Do not get angry that you have to follow the law.
2. When you are walking or jogging you need to remember that you only have the right away when you are entering or in the crosswalk. The crosswalks are where the painted lines are! period! (crossing lights do trump lines) You do not have the right of way when you are jogging in the street, standing on the corner, crossing in the middle of the street or crossing on a corner without a crosswalk.
Drivers should be careful when they encounter people who are jogging in the street, standing on the corner, crossing in the middle of the street or crossing on a corner without a crosswalk because none of us want to kill a pedestrian.
Pedestrians need to understand that even if they are right, they can be dead. Don't force the issue with a two ton vehicle, people would like you around for a few more years.
And both drivers and pedestrians need to remember that not everyone is paying attention all the time even though they should be while driving and walking.

Actually the law states that if you are in an unmarked crosswalk you must YIELD!
