Wise words.

I was driving in front of Lowes (off 441), where there are numerous pedestrian crossings, when a young man walked straight out from behind a wall on a "plain" section of road and shouted "We're in Florida!" when I had to jam on my brakes to avoid hitting him.

Not sure what the official ruling is, but I guess those crossings were painted just as a job creation scheme.
