At least one report of an injury resulting from jaywalking highlights a broader issue on campus: students’ disregard for traffic signals. Students said they ignore traffic signals and crosswalks as they run to class or cross a busy H Street to get to the Marvin Center for a bite to eat. Many said they see […]
