This Is Why Pedestrians Get Killed


Just a few short steps further at the traffic light is a pedestrian cross walk. I know the Salisbury Police Department can't be bothered with small stuff like this right now but you know what, a few tickets and the word will get around so fast it isn't funny.

I consider Rt. 13 far more dangerous than Coastal Highway, seriously. Why in God's name would someone with a child in a stroller take such a risk, unless they don't give a sh!t? Unless they're possibly babysitting? Is this YOUR child? Do YOU know this woman?

And what slays me is that she is pushing the baby out first.

I used to live in LA, and I had a baby at the time and I was so afraid of the traffic and being able to cross the street safely with my stroller. I would actually pull the stroller through a lighted crosswalk or intersection so that I would be the first one in front of a car, not my baby!

Hey if she is so stupid or unwilling to cross in a crosswalk, that's her problem. If she get's hit it's on her not the driver. She is at fault, when it comes to court

Maybe some of you MISSED the fact that she's pushing a small child in the stroller?????????

Come on now, this was idiotic!

How weird-- I was driving by when you snapped that pic. I saw her, and thought to myself, "What the hell is wrong with that lady?". What a coincidence.

I'm kind of surprised he is even in a stroller. I see her walking down Carroll Street with her son and he is always way ahead of her and never in a stroller or walking near her.

they want to be struck, so they can sue. had a guy step in front of me by the old oak's drive in. one in hand and one in a stroller. it'd solve the mouths to feed and unwanted over production issue-struggle.
i would NEVER cross a major roadway in any manner, much less with a small child in hand.

On a similar note… was driving on Rt 13 in Pocomoke, just past the Wal-Mart, where a woman and her child were killed doing the same bone-head move. Wal-Mart put up a fence along the Rt 13 side in hopes of moving foot traffic to cross at the traffic light, but no such luck. I watched as two knuckleheads crossed the highway in the same place of the last fatality, and only to walk along the fence towards the traffic light, to get to the Wal-Mart.
Mark my words, in a matter of weeks or months that fence will be ripped down or vandalized just so they can cut across the highway.

Maybe she's doing what they would do in Peiping China back in the mid-40's. They threw there babies in front of military vehicles because they gaot paid for the loss. That's a fact and maybe this women thinks she can get paid off in the same way?

timely post, i agree with you joe that it is more dangerous than coastal highway where people use crosswalks for the most part. i think more should be done to slow down traffic on route 13 and to target jaywalkers
