8½ minutes to cross the street


Question: What would you do if you saw this kind of trending of pedestrian fatalities:

Well if you were Maryland you would do more things like this:

28 traffic lanes and 8½ minutes later you are across the street!

Read more bout this crazy intersection were two pedestrians were recently seriously injured: http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/17341/8half-minutes-to-cross-the-street/

[B' spokes: Note the conversation came up if there's a law that prevents you from crossing at the unmarked crosswalk... I could not find it.]

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
