I cant figure out why people think they can just step out in front of moving cars and trucks and not LOOK for what could hit them. I wont't step out to cross like that even in a crosswalk......drivers come from varying states and not all have the same crosswalk law saying drivers must stop for walkers already in the crosswalk.
I have to think part of it is that some people act as if this is a resort, not a community.
