ESL Podcast 1177 – Pedestrian Safety 

Rueben: I never imagined walking our daughter to school could be so dangerous. 

Carla: What happened? 

Rueben: We were walking on the sidewalk approaching the intersection1. The crossing guard was there to stop traffic so we could cross the street. We were halfway2 through the designated crosswalk when a guy driving like a demon3 whips around the corner. 

Carla: And he didn’t stop at the stop sign? 

Rueben: No, he didn’t even slow down. 

Carla: Didn’t he see the crossing guard or the other pedestrians4? 

Rueben: There are several big trees there, so it’s a blind corner with limited visibility. 

Carla: Still, he should have stopped. Was anyone hurt? 

Rueben: No, we were able to get out of his way, but he could have easily taken out five or six people! 

Carla: That’s crazy. What we need are flashing crosswalk signs. Maybe that would get drivers’ attention. 

Rueben: And maybe armor for our daughter, too? 

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
