- Hard to believe traffic ever moves fast enough for that :) -- nm - Meg Jan 20, 11:27 3
  - none of the deasths are on the strip. mostly on streets without any crosswalks for miles -- nm - peglegpete Jan 20, 11:30 2
    - Though that's based on the current strip configuration with all the pedestrian overpasses - JD Jan 20, 11:32
    - that happened a few years ago to a niece - she made a full recovery - Pippy Jan 20, 11:32
ST Poll: Have you ever received a jaywalking ticket? - con_carne Jan 20, 11:18 3
- I was stopped last week. -- nm - Guigue Jan 20, 11:23
- Once, sorta...Vegas 2004. More like a citation. I don't even think that counts. -- nm - Mel Profit si Jan 20, 11:21
- Nope and I do it constantly. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:20
Which, if it's jaywalkers getting hit and killed, makes perfect sense. Stay out of the dam road, dumbasses. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 11:17 2
- I know at least one was but two were the fault of the drivers. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:19 1
  - 50 points! -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:34
Better than shooting them. -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 11:13 4
- too expencive in bullets just take the keys -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 20, 11:16
- Don't go mixing up your big city police departments now - con_carne Jan 20, 11:15 2
  - Our cops have been doing a good job of shooting innocent civilians as well. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:17 1
    - Planters too. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:18
Yup, just saw more cops walking around the UWS in the last hour than I ever have. I'd be pissed if I got a jaywalking ticket. - Krusty Jan 20, 11:12 3
- When I moved to Chicago, I was told they don't even have a jaywalking law so you can't get ticketed. - ty97 Jan 20, 11:13 1
  - Haha! That's some people's luck. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:15
- But I'm also not stupid enough to jaywalk on 96th and Broadway. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 11:13
