After voting yesterday, went to the downtown area of the city to do a few errands and saw a young woman, about 25, crossing the street totally engrossed in her conversation on her cell phone. She was crossing at a crosswalk where you have a flashing yellow light, if you remember to hit the switch before you cross, which she had done. But a guy driving was on his cell phone, and obviously didn't see her crossing at first. He made a panic stop and stopped about a foot away from her. She still didn't really notice and kept on crossing, still engrossed in her conversation. These crosswalks are in the middle of the blocks instead of the corners, and now I'm wondering if they should be removed, considering this isn't the first time I've seen something like this.
