DP - All great suggestions, but, the pedestrians think they own the right to cross whenever and wherever they want and to do it immediately. By their actions, they show that they think they should be able to walk up, have everybody immediately stop and then they keep walking. As you and I know, A1A has always been difficult to cross. Remember when it was two lane and backed up to the Cape every afternoon? The correct answer is for pedestrians to understand they bought their homes on the west side and the beach is on the east side of a STATE HIGHWAY and to wait until it is safe to cross (and to teach their kids responsibility for their own safety). I have heard over and over how hard it is and how long it takes to cross at the end of my street. Well, I have timed it many, many times and the MOST it has ever taken me is 3 MINUTES. That is about what it takes to activate a stoplight for a car to enter from a sidestreet. The problem is entitled pedestrians.

That is about what it takes to activate a stoplight for a car to enter from a sidestreet. The problem is entitled pedestrians. Below is a thought provoking legal perspective on driving, roadways and personal rights from a Libertarian perspective. Reading gave me a new perspective to consider. Below paragraph is a teaser that is not a spoiler. "Those persons who are engaged in government authorized activities can be regulated by government. Therefore vehicles that are used in commerce can be required to have license plates. License plates are on vehicles that need government permission to be on the road - to profit from the use of public roads. Once they are regulated in commerce (have a license plate), they never have the right of way. Pedestrians and bicyclists always have the right of way over licensed vehicles, because their right to travel is a protected liberty. Whereas commercial uses of the roads are never a protected liberty, they are a government granted privilege.". Do you have a God-given right to "drive", or is driving a government-granted privilege that can be licensed? After reading more of his arguments I see he is a Christian Libertarian with a Quaker matriarchal lineage. He has interesting views. ------------------------- Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Edited: 05/11/2020 at 12:18 PM by dab |
