The correct answer is that I write a letter to my local traffic safety committee to ask them to please place a lighted crosswalk on this incredibly dangerous stretch of interstate that cuts through an otherwise blissful suburban utopia.

My answer depends on whether or not there is a jersey barrier or the like in the middle of the four lanes, or if all four lanes are going the same way.  I also can't imagine why parents/residents in general wouldn't be bitching at the local government for a sound barrier.  I mean, highways are fucking loud.

Residences don't get that damn close to highways.  I live by a highway currently, and there are no buildings within half a block or more of the road, and there is a thin band of thick brush/woods and a big 'ol ditch between the plants and the road.  And there is a nearby bridge over the the highway.

The situation is implausible.

But yeah, I said yes.  The worst that will happen is one kid is killed or nearly killed.  Kids aren't that stupid that they would continue trying after something like that.  And it's actually more likely in my mind that the person driving would swerve and likely cause an accident, possibly even involving the nearest house, which is what they get for having such lax regulations in the area and allowing residences to be that goddamn close to a highway.

HYPOCRISY!


True dat, but when someone gives me an excuse to whack off I'm not mature enough to keep my fly up. I just grab this stout willow limb here and twist it.

Honestly, I was beside myself with relief that it wasn't a thread about testicles.

Break a commandment in front of some savages, showing them that there isn't always some form of immediate divine retribution?

Speaking from personal experience here - the answer will be "No, because then people would try and cross the street on an incredibly dangerous stretch of road."

A crosswalk does not create a safe place to cross, it marks a safe place to cross.

Which is why I said it should be lighted, so cars will stop before people cross.

Now that this thread is straying into Terry Pratchett territory, I like it more.

I'm not sure that the raised bridgeamacallit will help you get the ball that's strayed into the street. It will however help you do the opening scene from LAIN.

ART.

EDIT: It was quite late.

I can't feel bad about that.

Also, I though the ball made it across the street.  I don't care enough to check. :nyoro~n:

Actually, there's a Ripley's Believe it or Not type story about a witch doctor who called down a death curse on a man, and the man was immediately incinerated by lightning.  The witch doctor was arrested for murder.
