It's a crosswalk you friggin' idiot!

I really, really wish cops would enforce jaywalking. Having said that, theyll decide to do so when I decide to cross a very empty, non-busy street.
Seriously though. I had to slam the breaks in order to avoid hitting some woman who decided to stroll across a busy section of Tryon. Even if she were running across, motorist would still have to had hit the breaks. Two or three of us blasted horns. She looks at us like 'how dare we' and flips us off and slows her pace til she gets across.

Its even worse on Central Blvd. In just as heavy traffic, there are people constantly crossing back and forth. Most of them are mothers pushing a stroller one-handed while the other hand pulls a 5 year old behind them.

For a couple blocks, theres a median between the two lanes of traffic. The median has a decent landscape. It also has a spot for pedestrians to wait out the other lane of traffic. This is all well and good. Less chances of them getting hit. Nevermind the crosswalks less than a block away in either direction.

Theres a reason Charlotte has a high rate of people getting hit.
