I’ve got BU students that are oblivious to the fact that there’s even a traffic light, let alone that it turned green 5 seconds ago and they’re NOW walking into the intersection with cars coming at ‘em.

Every day I go through that intersection.....every day some student walks into traffic without looking.

My undergrad school wanted to put up new dorms. The story I remember is that the Feds wouldn't let them unless they built a pedestrian tunnel due to traffic concerns.

I'm not sure is it was before or after the tunnel was complete that it was found "necessary" to install a campus security station in the tunnel.

If anything, I'm sure the vehicle traffic appreciated fewer swarms of students.

I remember "The Doktor" being dumped on for reminding/pointing out to new BU students to "look both ways" when crossing Comm Ave, both road vehicles and the subway trains.

I think banning iPods over a helicopter falling on a person will only generate contempt among the hoi polloi for laws in general.

BU?

...and what do the ones wearing earphones do? '-}

Back in the 70s I made deliveries on the University of Texas campus, and I could be stopped at a stop sign and a student would walk into the side of my truck. They were usually reading or something while walking across campus. You know the old saying, “Vehicle accidents are increasing: College sophomores suspected.”
