Its funny because we are so used to cars doing that we finished the walk. With no time to spare. So here we are in our 30 seconds boom right to the other side could we have walked faster yes but we are very able bodied pedestrians here get 30 sec cross. Then are forced to stop in the middle if they run out of time. Breen says when most people get to the middle they dont stop. Okay so these guys they started their cross. And theyre going to keep coming even tho that hand says do not cross breen told us ndot is working hard.
