Title: Wrong of Way
Post by: Tim on November 05, 2007, 03:31:00 AM
Special thanks to the University Police Department at UND for the inspiration and related information! To many University Ave. is the main artery of campus; the route to which Deek's brings us our holy pizza, the road to which we proudly walk to class, the place where we often look to the flashing light thingy in front of the Chester Fritz to see just how far below zero the temperature is, and where many near-death crashes are avoided by quick application of the brakes. Anyone who has driven down University Ave has, at least once, nearly rammed/flattened an oblivious student that suddenly realized the sidewalk looked greener on the other side and walked in the middle of the road to get there and right into oncoming traffic.

Don't forget all those coefficient of friction equations we had to do in physics class!

I was hoping someone would bring this up again sometime, but you didn't mention people on bicycles!  They have to follow traffic rules as well, which means yielding to cars in the main road when entering from the side (don't stop for me just because I'm on my bicycle, you look like an idiot) and, most importantly, riding on the correct side of the street!

.....and staying on the street and off the sidewalk.
