Pedestrian Neglect

April 6, 2009 by RI BIke

I was traveing into work this morning, when I noticed a pedestrian patiently waiting by the side of the road at a crosswalk.  I took the lane and blocked the traffic on my side of the road, so the pedestrian could cross.  As the pedestrian and I patiently waited for four more cars going the other direction to pass through the crosswalk before one decided to stop, I had a chance to look around.  To my surprise, there was a Warren Police officer sitting in a parking lot, literally across the street from where I was.

Shame on that police officer for not interrupting his donut and coffee break to protect the rights of a pedestrian trying to simply cross the road, legally.
