Wal-Smart Crosswalks

Wal-Mart paints crosswalk lines from one end of the building to the other, making the entire front of the parking lot a "crosswalk". By definition a crosswalk is: "A path marked off on a street to indicate where pedestrians should cross". Also, "Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. An engineering study should be performed before they are installed at locations away from traffic signals or STOP signs."

I can only assume that paining lines across the entire front of the parking lot allows their shoppers (money) faster access to oversized carts for shopping.

Unfortunately people now assume that as long as they are walking on this zone the can walk in front of moving vehicles without even looking. I've had children run out in front of my vehicle from behind parked cars and the parents give ME a dirty look. People walk out in front and look the other way, or just walk down the middle of the road.

I see this happening all over the place now, like it's socially acceptable. This stupidity is spreading like a disease. We need a cure.
