I’m strongly considering an educational protest directed at the incompetent parents who drive their kids to the school near my condo each morning.  I’m sick of starting my commute by waiting in a huge line of confused people who treat an empty crosswalk as a stop sign.  Do you think this is too much for a picket sign?

“This is a crosswalk.  You only have to stop when children are crossing the road.  The person turning left does not have the right of way.  Go.”

Perhaps I could just hand out Colorado driver’s manuals like flyers.

Another problem is that these same drivers suddenly start hating their brakes the second someone actually does step foot in the street.  The students, fully aware of this fact and rightly scared for their lives, end up carefully gauging the situation for several seconds before ever deciding to cross.  By the time they do, some asshole SUV mom will surely get tired of waiting and cut off the pedestrian (which starts the whole tiresome social stall all over again).
