Bumpersticker
Bumpersticker
Originally uploaded by tbridge
I caught this bumpersticker in the Courthouse parking lot as I headed into the city tonight. It reads, “Pedestrians are never allowed to impede the flow of traffic, look it up!” It seems to be lovingly hand-scrawled onto a bumpersticker blank, then adhesed carefully to his or her sport ute. All I can say is, I hate drivers, pedestrians & cyclists who have chips on their shoulder, but at least this jackhole had the courage to display it for everyone.

Agreed. I hate people who have to have a personalized license plate like everyone else. It is being different where they are all being the same.

Okay! I looked it up.
Section 46.2-924 of the Virginia Criminal and Traffic Regulations says:
“The driver of any vehicle on a highway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing such a highway:
1. At any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of any block;
2. At any regular pedestrian crossing, including in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block;
3. At any intersection when a driver is approaching on a highway or street where the legal maximum speed does not exceed thirty-five miles per hour.”

Wow, I really enjoyed that. Thanks for that challenge, SUV driver! I offer lessons in how to search on Google if you are interested…

And just in case you venture into D.C., SUV driver, you should be aware that pedestrians there are also allowed to impede the flow of traffic. Look it up: http://www.myfoxdc.com/myfox/pages/Traffic/Detail?contentId=7480718&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=10.3.1
