Making Crosswalks Safer

Jackson Wyoming has come up with a new method of making crossing the street safer. Next to each crosswalk they have these orange flags. When pedestrians go into the crosswalk they are supposed to take a flag and wave it while they cross the street. LOL! When they get to the other side they simply deposit the flag in one of the red slots that are available in the flag pole.

Two things: (1) Even though I laugh, this actually could help prevent accidents (2) I simply can't do it.

There could not be anything less champion like than this! I would not believe you but the trusty phone cam does not lie.

But you also said you couldnt walk and chew gum at the same time. Now look at you Mrs Step-N-Chew! I bet you could Step-N-Chew-N-Wave a flag without any problems!!!
