I almost got hit by a semi walking home from school today.
so I got off the bus and pressed the little crosswalk button, it went beep boop beep voop, meaning u could cross, I was taught that u wait for the cars to stop so i waited I saw my route has 3 buses that go to different places and one bus was blocking my view of the driving lane farthest from me, it had stopped. there was like a foot or so from me and the semi that passed. so please, use designated crosswalks and wait for cars to come to a complete stop, and if u are driving, be mindful of pedestrians that are around in ur surroundings.
and now i can't sleep bc I'm thinking of all the possible outcomes of that one situation.
please be mindful when driving and to everyone, be mindful of ur surroundings
