Reply to comment by pittiedaddy in Yale Student Pedestrian Struck by Temporary-Car7981
I had words with 2 Yale students at this exact intersection during a snow storm a few years ago. Light is green, giving me right of way when 2 female students step off the curb into the cross-walk while I was already accelerating. I hit the brake immediately but a couple of inches of snow and actively falling snow in the early winter evening caused my car to slip down the street sideways and drift toward the curb.
When I opened my door,bright in front of one of the students in the middle of the road, I was not kind with my words. It was not the first, nor the last time an oblivious person, not even just a students, stepped into moving traffic in a dangerous scenario because they lacked situational awareness.
