Single issue voter

Hello,

Can someone tell me who caters least to families, children, and "no turn between 7-9 a.m." signs in the upcoming election?

Thanks!

Personally, I'd prefer my kid to learn how to push a button and look both ways.

I think you might be working on the somewhat Utopian assumption it's the kids that are the problem, and not idiot drivers. Living as I do near an elementary school and observing the joyous clusterfuck that is the Teele Square intersection every morning, I'm amazed they aren't armed with bazookas by now.

I've nearly been run over three times, with a Walk signal all three times, in the past year. Generally it's some asshole on his cell phone ripping up Broadway. Doesn't happen often, but it happens enough.

Yeah, it's really used in ways it shouldn't be.
