and people say nj drivers are bad

this here is a crummy photo i took from my phone right outside karl's house:
i know the quality is poor, but that's a neon yellow sign in the middle of the road that says "DC LAW: STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS IN CROSSWALK."

this here is a photo of the same spot, just zoomed out a little bit.
please note that the thingy lying on the curb there? is the same neon yellow "STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS" sign. that had been run over so many times that they had to replace it.

  1. That's actually quite funny. Unless you have to use that crosswalk to, you know, walk across.

  2. We were just hearing on the traffic report this morning that traffic was snarled up somewhere in the DC area due to a pedestrian who'd been struck. Perhaps it was near Karl's place?

  3. Maybe more than one driver figured it was better to hit the sign than a pedestrian.

  6. Seriously? Do they run over it on purpose? I wouldn't cross there if you paid me.
