FTA:

"As a pedestrian decoy for the Madison Police Department, Officer Derrick
Jones has had close encounters with many vehicles whose drivers failed to
stop for him as he crossed busy city streets during targeted enforcement
operations.
But Jones had just gotten off duty on Sept. 11 and was walking to his
vehicle when he was hit in the middle of a crosswalk".

"So far this year, the TEST unit has issued 95 citations to drivers for
failing to yield to a pedestrian, most resulting from enforcement
operations, Tripke said."

Just 95 this year? I bet they could get 95 in a single day!

At the risk of sounding extremist, I will reiterate my suggestion that we
replace those 'red flags' at intersections with baseball bats.
