Twenty feet before this were the school zone warning lights flashing and telling people to slow to 20 mph. I stopped to let him cross, the cars coming from the opposite direction did not. I flashed my lights to the oncoming traffic hoping someone would stop, they did not.
The cars behind me became impatient and went into the gutter to go around. A semi truck pulling a Pepsi trailer went into the gutter to get around me, with inches to spare. This is a two-lane street, not a busy thoroughfare. This is a neighborhood street, kids walk to school and their parents have no idea just how risky it is for them to get to school.
