Q: Why did the Seattleite cross the road?

OK angry drivers – lay off your horns and listen for a second. Pedestrians have the right-of-way almost all the time. When one steps out into the crosswalk, not only should you let them get safely cross the street, (which of course you do), you also shouldn’t get mad at them for making you late.

Thanks to the Seattle Department of Transportation, we’re getting a refresher course on the kind and legal way to treat street-crossing pedestrians.

A: It doesn’t matter. Drivers need to let them get to the other side.
