Someone's going to plow right into a real kid once they get used to this.

I've been reading this in the newspaper--interesting concept, but way too stupid. I wonder what's going to happen after a while when drivers get used to it, and learn to kind of ignore it. Then watch out if a real kid runs out into the road. Could be awful.

actually, I live in the area... So far, no accidents caused from it... It actually makes drivers think with care... Note we have a lot of bad drivers in vancouver!
Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!
