Another Central Street shopper strolls leisurely into traffic, in front of a huge truck, in the middle of the block, despite a light at Hartrey, a painted crosswalk in front of Foodstuffs, and a painted and coned crosswalk at Prairie. Oh, and you might not be able to see it, but the driver of the sedan is talking on her cell phone.

Two pedestrians on Central Street, ignoring the crosswalk about 15 feet west of them, play "Dart Out in Front of the CTA Bus." Taken at approximately 5 pm.

A pedestrian crosses in the middle of the 2100 block of Central Street at rush hour toward the parking lot, stepping in front of a cement mixer.
