Description
A majority of drivers do not yield at crosswalks to allow for waiting pedestrians / students to cross. While signage is present at all designated crosswalks, drivers consistently do not yield. The only time I have witnessed compliance is when the school bus driver sets the example to the opposite lane of traffic.
IMHO this is a driver education issue. Can the city / school district used their combined communication tools to remind drivers of crosswalk laws?

Most of these goofs in their cars are too busy texting or screwing around with their phones to pay attention to pedestrians or cyclists. I have been almost hit many times, after assuming the driver sees me, or even understands what those white stripes on the road mean.
Best thing is to make eye contact with the driver before stepping into the crosswalk. Doesn't matter that the pedestrian has the right of way if you end up squashed dead by some idiot who can't be bothered to pay attention to their driving.
