Watch out for pedestrians

My university-era friend Lee and his partner are about to move back to California from Florida. I thought of that when I saw this in the news:

Police in Moreno Valley, California were tired of drivers who failed to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks by claiming they “didn’t see” the crossers. So they dressed a detective in a large traffic cone and had him go back and forth in the crossing. They still caught 15 drivers, “many” of whom claimed they “didn’t see” Mr. Cone.

 Lee is moving to the San Diego area, which is about 90 miles south of Moreno Valley. Hope the drivers there are more observant.
