Are used to alert traffic that you’re crossing the road. I hate it when people don’t push the button for crosswalks. At night. With headphones in, and don’t even look. Im going to smoke you with my car sometime. I don’t know how many time in the last 2 months I’ve had this happen to me. Especially by the D-mouth sportsplec. I hope you will be able to sell your ipod to pay for the damage on my car.

at night, yes I can see that would be wise…
unless you’re wearing something so bright even a blind, gay man would scream “Jesus, that is loud”.
but in daylight, how about checkin the sides like any other crosswalk, huh? like the rest of us …. well those that haven’t made children/elderly hood ornaments thus far.
It is now an an offence to enter the crosswalk before activating the flashing lights. Tickets will be issued,HRM needs money.
I thought that’s what the cat registration was supposed to be for, joeblow?
HRM has all those concerts to pay for, you know.
Latching onto this bitch instead of writing a new one, I’d just like to point out that Halifax needs to PAINT ITS CROSSWALKS.
Even in broad daylight, crossing where the lines are 95% faded (and where there is no overhead sign…just the tiny ones on the side) is playing with fire. Actually, ‘playing with tons of hurtling metal’ sounds more dangerous.
uh, I do believe there are still signs at the side of the road though. may want to make a note of them next time you’re ready to go for a spin.
oh, and don’t forget cudo’s to the HRM who install street lights half way up the block and not on street corners where pedestrians need to be seen… there’s your tax dollars werkin fer ya
agreed. one actually became a hood ornament of my own, and Im stuck with paying the charges. I can’t even get ahold of her to pay for them. she ran into my car on robie st in a hurricane storm.
smart eh?
hood ornament collector.
