Definitely not.

A good friend of ours is a retired engineer, after over 40 years of running trains. He said that the last person who committed suicide by stepping in front of his train, just one of quite few in his career, was the deciding factor in him deciding to finally retire. He said it is such a helpless feeling knowing he couldn't do anything about it and that it would be at least a mile to stop the train, before he and the conductor could even get off and go back to check on the person.

PLEASE no more regulation....it is not enforceable anyway and it just leads to more paperwork, bureaucratic delays and issues of what are the conditions to grant a permit.

What type of parade requires what conditions to be approved? Golf Cart parades, Car parade, Segway parade, walking protest parade, animal (horses, dogs, etc) parade? This opens a can of worms we don't need in the villages. Once opened do the worms need a permit?

The pedestrian does not always have the right-of-way:
The Florida statue only defines who is required to yield the right-of-way. Pedestrians at crosswalks at signalized intersections must yield if they face a red traffic signal or steady DON'T WALK signal. ... Pedestrians cannot enter the crosswalk at any time they wish.
