Greg,
I've had them walk in front of my car under the same circumstances as you.
They have this sense of impervious entitlement.

Subject: [Chat] Letter to JHU
Here is a copy of an email I just sent to JHU. This is a real problem in our
neighborhood:
----------------------------------------
I am a resident of Charles Village and every day I commute around lunch time
south on St. Paul. On dozens of occasions, I have had JHU students walk right
in front of my car, even though I have a green light and they have a 'Don't
Walk' sign. The most egregious locations are at 33rd by the Barnes and Noble
and 31st Street by Donna's. I purposely drive below the speed limit in these
areas as I have had a few close calls. Today was the worst, as thank goodness
my car has great brakes, preventing me from hitting three Hopkins students who
walked right in front of my car while laughing the entire time as their friends
laughed and shouted at them to run across the street. JHU students need to be
reminded that Charles Village is not their 'campus,' nor are they in a small
New England town ... they are in a large metropolitan city and their campus is
in the heart of it.
I have lived in Charles Village for 8 years and have had mostly positive
experiences with JHU students but this is a real problem. Their safety is being
put at risk, and I am in jeopardy of being involved in a horrific accident just
because they cannot seem to follow a simple "Walk/Don't Walk" sign, despite
their near perfect SAT scores.
Thank you,
Greg Alexander
