crosswalk is generally designed to provide a safe path for pedestrians to cross by marking the designated path that people can cross and in which motorist should be able to see. “Should” is the keyword, because as the paint fades, chips, and wears from traffic; the path becomes harder for motorist to see. The consequence of this is a driver will be less aware that someone may step into the road trying to cross at these points. Laws and legislation are beginning to crack down on these drivers but the roads

then maybe the traffic would be calmer. Traffic calming can be achieved through citizens-based, grassroots education, enforces and engineering (City of Tulsa, 2005). If the neighbors are worried about traffic control and the safety of their family, having knowledge on what we might can do, will create communication between neighbors. The city is developing a traffic-calming program, which will help establish guidelines and criteria for speed humps or other traffic calming devices (City of

utilize the vehicle’s convenience, more drivers populate roadways and inherently increase the risk of traffic incidents due to inattentiveness and excessive speed. These modern day drivers are protected by the safety systems of the vehicles and roads, driver education and enforced traffic laws. Law enforcement currently relies on speed traps, guilty conscience and traffic calming measures to control traffic safety. In the face of this current technological world, these methods of enforcement prove to be

Southern California traffic can be very frustrating. I drive the freeway almost every day and the aggressiveness of other drivers has often left me feeling very angry. I can vividly remember a few months ago another driver was riding on my bumper, flashing his high beams, honking his horn. He then pulled in front of me, stopped his car, and got out of his car to confront me. While I decided not to jump out and escalate the confrontation, instead just changing lanes and leaving him standing in
