I was leaving a sporting event recently, and came to a crosswalk, with many other people leaving the same sporting event. There were vehicles coming down the street towards us, and many of us stopped. One woman came up to the curb with several children with her. The diversity of the children made me wonder if they were friends, not all family. The children stopped at the berm, but the woman walked into the street and said "Oh, no. They (the cars) have to stop."
Well, I agree with her, the law expects the vehicles to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. But why would anyone make that assumption, especially when some of the children in her charge may not be her own.
The cars did stop, and we all crossed the street safely.
