Crosswalks are just that—places you cross the road safely. Not for jogging, running or riding your bike. I’m glad to see someone got fined for jogging across a crossWALK, as you put yourself in danger and sometimes you can learn from the actions of others. I’m glad the jogger was not seriously hurt, and I’m also glad the police recognized that drivers sometimes don’t have the time they need to stop. So, please don’t run, jog or ride your bike across crossWALKS—please walk and be safe. -A Safe Driver, Walker and Jogger

Last I checked people can walk, jog, run, sprint, hop scotch, rollerblade, and possibly even skateboard through a crosswalk.
Fined for jogging in a crosswalk? Who was in danger-slower joggers? How was the jogger almost hurt?
How much crack did you and the police officer smoke before this evil jogger attack?
Where is the jogger now? I’ll run them over with my bike…
I’m with you OB , way past time more people who are dashing out into traffic without checking are held accountable. Fine them before they get hit by a car IMO.
Nothing fucking wrong with jogging in a crosswalk. You don’t have much of a life, do you?
No problem jogging across as long as you stop and ensure the way is clear to do so.
Im more concerned with the ones who cross where there are no crosswalks, stand on the corner and dare me to him them.
