On most college campuses, pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. If they approach it, you have to stop.

Yes, that is true....in the city of Boston, the law states that pedestrians have the right-of-way, but that doesn't stop people from getting run over. These people literally run (or walk) out in front of traffic without paying any attention. I have almost been hit once when I started walking across on a red light and the light turned green; the guy hit the gas, then stomped on the break....scared me to death...

I've seen people walk out in front of traffic going atleast 40 mph or so, and walk so slowly that you'd think they were blind and deaf and had no clue that the cars were coming...I come from the mid-west, where we pay attention b/c cars are bigger and stronger than us. Plus, I'd say we are more polite; I try to keep from blocking traffic when at all possible. I've been known to wave cars on around a corner and just wait...
