Gete Bond: Crosswalks in Boulder

Much as I wanted to avoid this ongoing discussion, after screeching on my brakes the other day to avoid a pedestrian, I feel I must voice my opinion.
Circumstances & location:crosswalk on Pearl between 28th & 30th (Target -> Whole Foods).
Did the pedestrian hit the button to activate the flashing lights? No Were there any other pedestrians in the crosswalk? No Is there a traffic signal? No Did the pedestrian look towards the direction cars were coming before setting foot in the crosswalk? No Did he decelerate his normal walking pace? No I feel strongly that common sense dictates a modicum of awareness that as a pedestrian, when in the presence of vehicles, caution is paramount. If there are flashing lights at a crosswalk, please use them. That helps us drivers to be aware that there may (or may not) be pedestrians crossing where there is no traffic light. Especially if you are the only pedestrian crossing, be aware that a driver may not be familiar with the location of that particular crosswalk.
Therefore, be cautious, slow your pace a bit and look towards the traffic to see if the oncoming vehicle is slowing down. You just might save your own life.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  16. videntes says:

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
