Pedestrian Halts Main Street Traffic
In this week's edition of "REALLY?" we consider pedestrians who arrive at a street corner, push the button, then cross the street before the signal arrives, forcing motorists to then wait through a pedestrian walk signal for no reason. Really?
Our debut installment of “REALLY?” earned both praise and criticism from several New Canaan Patch readers.
A look around town at botched and inconsiderate parking jobs—including this gem of a photo from one Patch user whose initials happen to spell out “BAD-Parker”—we received some comments from readers who felt we should have blurred out license plates. Thank you for that feedback.

This happens all the time when I’m waiting in my car at a light: A pedestrian walks to the corner, pushes the button to cross and—often without breaking stride—continues into the intersection and is across the road before the all-walk signal for pedestrians lights up.
Really?
I’d rather you just jaywalked without inconveniencing the rest of us.
