I agree, pedestrians do have the right of way at crosswalks, but if we could just get them to use the crosswalks. How many times do you see people step out and cross from between parked cars/carts without even looking and get upset with a car/cart driver because they almost got hit. Pedestrians in The Villages think they have the right of way any time/place.
