Things That Are Different Are Not the Same 5

Pedestrians Always Seem to Have the Right of Way


Since we now live within town limits, we definitely do A LOT of walking.
I often walk to town for small "in-between" shopping trips.
We like to walk to lunch every Saturday.
We like to wind down on Sunday night with a stroll 
(especially during this season with the Christmas lights aglow).
It has been a learning experience that people actually stop for pedestrians here.
I suppose that it happens in many busier cities and town,
but it is new to us.

What is odd to us is that if you even approach a road,
on-coming traffic will stop - crosswalk or not!
So we have learned to hold back if we don't want to cause a pile up😀
The town also provides frequent crosswalks in the middle of main roads - 
all you have to do is push a button, lights flash, and traffic stops!
