Cars Drive Through A2 Crosswalks with Impunity: WATCH VIDEO

Today we emailed Ann Arbor's City Attorney to get his legal opinion on whether the people in this video have the right-of-way according to Ann Arbor law. Three cars drive through the intersection while the men are walking through the crosswalk at Seventh St. at Washington.

Clearly, the City's pedestrian right-of-way ordinance needs to be re-written to match something similar to what the City of Boulder has. Pedestrians should be given absolute right-of-way. Anything less gives only the illusion of safety. Only absolute right-of-way creates the peace of mind which allows for walkable streets and a sustainable community.
